My new strategy combines still doing some setup, but the setup is explicitly for making things easier to read.
EOQualifier haveRedHair = Student.HAIR_COLOR.eq(MyAppConstants.RED_HAIR);
EOQualifier areActive = Student.IS_ACTIVE.isTrue();
NSArray redheadedStudents = mySchool().students(Student.that(haveRedHair).and(areActive));
The thing is, the code only reads like english IF you save the qualifier to a temporary variable AND name it appropriately; that's too loose of a constraint. So I would agree with Ramsey that the shorter, non-english version is sufficient. I'm not opposed to adding it, but I probably wouldn't use it.
As for generating them in the templates I don't think it's worth it. I would take less time to declare a constant with the qualifier than to add it to the model somehow.
