FR: ability to alias relationships

[edalzell]

Synopsis:

It's great you can define relationships with standard names, but sometimes I need a relationship to have a different name.

Proposed Syntax:

hasOne: User as lead

Expected Behavior:

The hasOne relationship is created with a lead() method.

Currently this is allowed for belongsTo relationships by changing the column name, or providing a reference. For example, owner_id: id:User.

I'd be open to a similar syntax for more complex relationships. For example:

models:
  Salesman:
    name: string
    relationships:
        hasOne: Lead:User

The trickiest part will be parsing that. But there is precedence within Blueprint. So shouldn't be too hard to implement if you or someone else wants to take a crack.

Otherwise, I'll come back to this in the future if others want it.

This syntax hasOne: {class_name}:{method_name} is currently supported, to "alias" eloquent relationships.
