Purpose
This PR aims to add the ability to specify relationship "withs" as a PHP array, rather than dot notation.
Usage
Advanced
What isn't supported
I should note that merging of selects from different notation is not supported. I don't see this as a problem, as the current dot notation suffers from the same constraint...
and so the following is explicitly not supported...
or any other mixture of notation with duplicate selects.
Notes
I'd love to get some eyes on this from a range of people who are deep in Eloquent land.
