Thanks for that into, I’ll make those changes in the next release.

It sounds like it’ll make the code more readable. May be the next release should be clean up’s and addition of many more tests.

Just a quick note while I remember. It’s not particularly important, but the Rails idiom is that Rails datetime fields are _at. So, for example, the order_date would be ordered_at. Or if it’s just a date (for some reason I never store dates as just dates, I always use datetimes, I don’t know why!) the idiom is to postfix with _on, which would be ordered_on.

Mostly it’s just because it reads well and it’s consistent with the automagic created_at/updated_at fields.

Not that I’ve actually looked at the code yet, I just noticed from your changelog.
