# Native
User-defined tuple predicate
## Signature
native(predicate: (Tuple -> Boolean)) -> Predicate
## Examples
->(t){ t.city == 'London' }
## Description
So called 'native' predicates are functions computing truth values from
tuples.
## Implementation notes
Native predicates can be any ruby Proc object of arity 1. The argument
will be a Tuple instance. the Proc SHOULD return true or false, but ruby
patterns for boolean expressions are supported to (such a nil evaluating
to false, etc.).
Note that, as of current Alf version, native predicates cannot be delegated
to an underlying data engine, and are not compiled to SQL in particular.
Please always use predicate factories such as `eq(:city, 'London')` if
possible, as they do not hurt logical optimizations and compilation.
