I've long thought the current way was cumbersome and not keeping with The Rails Way. I mean, nearly everything else is Model.method(:param => :value) except find(). When I say not keeping with The Rails Way, I mean that it's putting the user right into the muck. You don't write SQL anywhere else in the app (excluding find_by_sql()), so how can we expect a user to know how to properly format a WHERE clause? Again, great news. In which version of Rails will this appear? This is great. I’ve long thought the current way was cumbersome and not keeping with The Rails Way.
