88	88	In Ruport 1.0, acts_as_reportable used to do a transformation of model
89		class names to name its associations in report tables. It now looks up
90		the proper association name through reflection. This will break any old
91		code that relied on the earlier convention, but eliminates ambiguity
92		issues.

	89	class names to name its associations in report tables. It now uses
	90	the proper association name to qualify attribute names. This will
	91	break any old code that relied on the earlier convention, but eliminates
	92	ambiguity issues.

	96	For example, say you had two models, Customer and CustomerAddress
	97	defined as follows:
	98	</p>
	99
	100	<pre>
	101	class Customer
	102	has_many :addresses, :class_name => "CustomerAddress"
	103	end
	104
	105	class CustomerAddress
	106	belongs_to :customer
	107	end
	108	</pre>
	109
	110	<p>If you do:</p>
	111
	112	<pre>
	113	Customer.report_table(:all, :include => :addresses)
	114	</pre>
	115
	116	<p>
	117	Previously, the columns from CustomerAddress would have been qualified as
	118	customer_address.attribute_name whereas now, they would be
	119	addresses.attribute_name
