Betternestedset talk - Apr 2008 - Support for find options in queries (:include and :conditions, etc.)

Has there been any work on supporting the various find options in the 
betternestedset methods. Right now there''s no way to pass on, for 
example, the :include option to the find method to retrieve associations 
when calling API methods such as self_and_siblings, etc. I''d also like 
to be able to pass :conditions so that I can filter the results -- for 
example, my current nested set model also uses single table inheritance. 
I''d like to be able to return a list of siblings that is the same type 
as the current object.

It looks like it would be relatively straightforward to handle a few 
specific use cases -- such as the above. I''d just have to modify the 
various API methods to accept an options arg, modify :conditions to 
include the nested set conditions bits, and pass it along to the find 
method.

Your contribution is welcome. You can either send a patch to the list or
ask for a commit access on the svn repository, if you plan to add  
many features.
