Rails - Mar 2006 - with_scope and filters for Rails 1.1 (scoped_access plugin)

Has anyone successfully gotten the scoped_access[1] plugin to work in 
Rails 1.1? Some of the methods it was relying on are now no longer 
accessible. It seems the only way to add scope is to use the 
''with_scope'' method that takes a block, but since Rails
doesn''t have
real around filters[2] I cannot see a way of adding a scope using a 
filter.

Anyone using with_scope and filters that can shed any light?

Cheers,
Jon

[2] "around" was originally defined in CLOS (Common Lisp) 30 years
ago.
It''s when some form of interceptor is called and is given full control 
of calling the next interceptor in the chain. "around" is simple yet 
incredibly powerful and can not only be used to implement "before" and
"after" but all sorts of crazy interception types. I''m
slightly
disappointed Rails doesn''t have real "around" but hey, maybe
I should
just submit a patch!

Less than 20 years - Common Lisp itself (without CLOS) came out in 1984, 
and CLOS was added around 1988.

I stand corrected.

I thought scoped_access was now built into 1.1 so no need for a plugin 
anymore, but I could be wrong...

Sorry to be picky... I was using Interlisp-D and LOOPS (precursor to 
CLOS) in 1984, then Common Lisp and CLOS on Macintosh around 1990.

I must get back up to speed with Common Lisp. One of my colleagues from 
the 90''s has managed to stay with Common Lisp, exclusively... and 
another is running a company specialising in Erlang, another language on 
my list.
