Polymorphic assc. uses base_class of object instead of class , Why?

Example:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base end

class Member < User   has_one :blog, :as => :blogable end

class Blog < ActiveRecrod::Base   belongs_to :blogable, :polymorphic => true end

The member.blog.blogable_type is 'User'. Does anybody know the reasoning for using the base_class instead of the class name of the object

The STI/Polymorphic thing is a bit of a mess at the moment, as I understand it. This recent documentation patch:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/5259

contains some info that might help you for now.
