Fortunately, with rails extensibility it shouldn't be hard to
change those default behaviors (in fact there's probably a patch
somewhere for the first case...)
It's really not hard to use the integrated mechanism for that:
class MyTable < ActiveRecord::Base
set_primary_key "mytable_id"
end
There are nevertheless usage glitches as far as I know. But it's no
real problem.
