Nice idea. You could use also this to propagate operations (e.g. delete,
aggregating ops, others) along specific attribute or relations.

What does this do to the tables? Can Comment include 'Orderable' multiple
times with different :scopes? How about ordering on either end of N-M

Which ideas from Wee does it currently have? Which ones would you like it to
