Sometimes duplicate code is necessary.

This is probably going to break things, the block should return a modified 
dataset, not a complete new dataset.

You probably want to join or use a subquery in the block, and you may want 
to use the :dataset option instead of a block.

Associations can't handle every possible case.  In more complex cases, you 
will need to write the dataset code manually.
