Use scoping to apply a scope to a block

Say you have a scope in an Active Record model like:

scope :published, -> { where(published: true) }

And for some reason you want the scope to be applied to all the queries in a block, you need to use scoping:

Model.published.scoping do
  Model.first # will use the scope
end

Because doing this is essentially useless:

Model.published do
  Model.first # will use the scope
end
