    self << (object = attrs ? @reflection.klass.send(:with_scope, :create => attrs) { @reflection.create_association! } : @reflection.create_association!)
    object
  end
end

#size ⇒ Object

Returns the size of the collection by executing a SELECT COUNT(*) query if the collection hasn’t been loaded and calling collection.size if it has. If it’s more likely than not that the collection does have a size larger than zero and you need to fetch that collection afterwards, it’ll take one less SELECT query if you use length.
