$query and $ref proposal

[cartant]

I have a minor proposal re: the release candidate proposal in #854.

Currently, the FirebaseListObservable and the FirebaseObjectObservable both have a $ref property that refers to the underlying SDK object. However, with the FirebaseListObservable, $ref refers to a Query. Which means that if you want to access the Reference you have to use list.$ref.ref.

This is something that I find a little annoying, but I can live with it. However, given that the intention is for the RC to encourage concurrent use of AngularFire(2) and the SDK, wouldn't it be better to make this more explicit and add separate $query and $ref properties to the FirebaseListObservable? Or to use a $query property instead of a $ref property for the FirebaseListObservable?

Never mind. I had this wrong. With FirebasListObservable the type of the $ref property is Reference | Query and what it is depends upon what's passed into the factory. It's fine.
