And a certain Ryan Carver weighs in in the comments with a proposal for adding support for :joins. From his comment:

I’ve been using a custom read only has_many implementation I called “knows_about” for supporting these more complex associations.. because once you start doing joins it’s really a different thing than has_many.

That read only part sure makes sense.
