Maybe also better errors whitelisting

Adding from closed linear ticket:

Change printing of ActiveRecord_Relation class
It’s so cumbersome to talk about e.g. Movie::ActiveRecord_Relation . I wonder if we can switch to saying/printing Relation::Movie, even though it’s not technically accurate. Then we can say “A Relation containing Movies” instead of “An ActiveRecord Relation containing Movies”
Create a pryrc override for this? (e.g., #2)

[bpurinton]

Maybe we should override to_s for an AR instance the way we did for AR::Relation; e.g. instead of #<User 0x129048102589>, have something like #<User 0x10298319842 (one row from the users table)>

Better:

#<An instance of the User model representing row 42>

Since students often get stuck as soon as they see #<User 0x129...

Now that I'm looking at it, we already did some work along these lines. It's just not appearing, perhaps something to do with ActionView
