When you are setting a foreign key in an object you can do it using the id directly or through the helper method. In this example comments belong_to users.
# Using an object reference
u = User.get(1234)
c = Comment.new
c.user = u
# Old school
x = Comment.new
x.user_id = 1234
Yeah - that is what I like to see - a framework that respects programmer intelligence and gives us choices!
