I get unknown column error when I do this. Looking through the config
generated SQL, I can see that the lessons table is not being joined. I
don't know how to manually add another join, but my workaround was to
add

    indexes lessons(:id), :as => :lesson_shim, :type => :integer
#necessary for :lessons to work, do NOT make this an attribute!

This seems to add the proper join bit to the SQL, but doesn't work as
expected if I use has instead of indexes.

Is there a better, smarter way to add a join?
