Rails - Mar 2010 - as_json for arrays?

Hi.

The file
/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/encoders/enumerable.rb

Has:

class Array
  (...)
  def as_json(options = nil) #:nodoc:
    self
  end
end

I want a as_json method FooModel.all.as_json(:only => [...]) that will
work same as FooModel.first.as_json(:only => [...]).

I had to write my own method in a initializer:
class Array
  def as_json_preserve_only_keys(preserve_keys)
    self.collect do |el|
      el.as_json(:only => preserve_keys)
    end
  end
end

Is there a better way to do this? Why does the Array method now look at
the "options" parameter?
