What are the parameter signatures of the has\_many etc. macros? The docs  
(and  
code) just takes \*args, so it’s hard to figure out.

How can I do the following? Specifically, how can I name the inverse  
“belongs\_to” distinctly for :good\_bs and :bad\_bs?

class A  
has\_many :good\_bs, B  
has\_many :bad\_bs, B  
end

Thanks.

You’ll probably get a better response on the Nitro list
