Rails - Jun 2006 - Sticky Options to Find?

Is there a way to provide "sticky" options to ActiveRecord::Base::Find
?

I''m thinking something with a use model like:

class Function < ActiveRecord::Base
  sticky :conditions => "lft > 0", :order => "lft
ASC"
end

Where all subsuquent find operations have those options applied.  In this
case:

Function.find(:all)

Would actually be equivalent to:

Function.find(:all, :conditions => "lft > 0", :order =>
"lft ASC")

And

Function.find(:all, :conditions => "parent_id = 0")

Would actually be equivalent to:

Function.find(:all, :conditions => "lft > 0 AND parent_id = 0",
:order =>
"lft ASC")

Thanks,
Ryan

You can probably override the find method and use with_scope

class Function < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.find(*args)
    with_scope(:find => { :conditions => ''lft > 0'',
:order => ''lft'' }) do
      super
    end
  end
end
