I really really (really) like the idea of having dynamic wheres back in #L4.
It makes your code look a bit more clearer in my opinion.
Since we are following the PSR standards, it'd be cool if it was camelCase, instead of the snake_case one.

$user = User::whereName($name)->first();

I'm not sure if this was already in the making, but it would be awesome if this was available.

Anyone else missing this?
