Feature Description
Associations such as hasMany or belongsToMany right now consider the model name (or alias) to create functions which can get associated data this makes the process a little confusing as you have to sometimes assume the name of the function and test it with alias name or model name. It would be great if while defining the model, names of association functions could be passed
