I will have to take a look at how you implemented the  
find_with_conditions and get back to you. It should be possible  
though. There might be something that could be done with calling  
super in the method_missing to make sure we don't entirely override  
AR's method_missing. Or maybe the best way would be to keep the  
method_missing confined in the Cond class and yield a new Cond object  
when find_with_conditions gets called.

I will take a peek and get back to you with a patch.
