// Eager Base
// ---------------

// The EagerBase provides a scaffold for handling with eager relation
// pairing, by queueing the appropriate related method calls with
// a database specific `eagerFetch` method, which then may utilize
// `pushModels` for pairing the models depending on the database need.
