Rewriting meta_where to squeel about squeel HOT 2 CLOSED

Yep -- see the section on "The Squeel Query DSL" from the docs. Specifically:

An important gotcha, before we begin: The Squeel DSL works its magic using instance_eval. If you've been working with Ruby for a while, you'll know immediately that this means that inside a Squeel DSL block, self isn't the same thing that it is outside the block.

This carries with it an important implication: Instance variables and instance methods inside the block won't refer to your object's variables/methods.

Don't worry, Squeel's got you covered. Use one of the following methods to get access to your object's methods and variables:

1. Assign the variable locally before the DSL block, and access it as you would normally.
2. Supply an arity to the DSL block, as in Person.where{|dsl| dsl.name == @my_name} Downside: You'll need to prefix stubs, keypaths, and functions (explained below) with the DSL object.
3. Wrap the method or instance variable inside the block with my{}. Person.where{name == my{some_method_to_return_a_name}}

Sorry I should've read that. My bad. Thank you for pointing that out.
