+Returns the current table alias for the result source this resultset is built
+on, that will be used in the SQL query. Usually it is C<me>.
+
+Currently the source alias that refers to the result set returned by a
+L</search>/L</find> family method depends on how you got to the resultset: it's
+C<me> by default, but eg. L</search_related> aliases it to the related result
+source name (and keeps C<me> referring to the original result set). The long
+term goal is to make L<DBIx::Class> always alias the current resultset as C<me>
+(and make this method unnecessary).
+
+Thus it's currently necessary to use this method in predefined queries (see
+L<DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook/Predefined searches>) when referring to the
+source alias of the current result set:
