title: ActiveSupport::StringInquirer in Rails
body: <p>I have a User model with status column. Rather than doing string comparison everytime like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>user.status == 'verified'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I though I should do</p>
  
  <pre><code>user.status.verified?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I added following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>  def status
      ActiveSupport::StringInquirer.new(self.status)
    end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But now I am getting stack level too deep which is understandable. How do I fix this?</p>
  
  <p>I am using Rails 3.2.</p>
