Hi Jeremy,

Is there a way to fetch the association dataset from the model/dataset 
level, which can then be used for making subqueries? To illustrate, let's 
assume the following association declarations:

  class Album < Sequel::Model
  end

  class Artist < Sequel::Model
    one_to_many :released_albums, class: Album, conditions: { released: 
true }
  end

And let's say that I would like to fetch all artists that have at least one 
released album. Currently I would do it like this:

  released_album_count = Album
    .where{albums[:artist_id] =~ artists[:id]}
    .where(released: true)
    .select{count.function}

  Artist.where(released_album_count > 0).to_a

However, I feel like here I'm repeating many things (album class, foreign 
key matching, released condition) that are already declared in the 
:released_albums association. Is there any way that I can use the 
:released_albums association to create such a dataset? So that I can do 
just something like:

  # here I'm using an imaginary "association_dataset" method
  released_album_count = 
Artist.association_dataset(:released_albums).select{count.function}

  Artist.where(released_album_count > 0).to_a

Kind regards,
Janko
