Often times, doing a query involves time based methods: "All users updated 
within the last 6 months", "All posts older than 1 year", etc.

My proposal is for an ActiveRecord helper method that would allow those 
queries to be written in a way similar to:

Users.where(updated_at: within(6.months))

Posts.where(updated_at: older_than(1.year))

Obviously that syntax may have to change to work with ActiveRecord/Arel.

I have been a Rails developer for about 3 years, so I'm very comfortable 
with Rails and ActiveRecord, though I have never contributed before. I am 
open to any and all suggestions or comments. I looked and didn't see any 
similar proposals in Github issues, though I may have missed something. If 
there is positive feedback on this, I would love to take a stab at it and 
let that be my first contribution back to Rails and, with that, if you have 
any advice on actual implementation considerations, I would love to hear 
those ideas, too!

Thanks,
Jacob
