define_attribute_methods interface differs between ActiveModel and ActiveRecord
Reported by Aditya Sanghi | December 9th, 2010 @ 12:37 PM | in 3.x
ActiveModel allows passing an array of methods on which
attribute_method_suffix,prefix,affix etc methods will be
defined.
ActiveRecord however overrides the define_attribute_methods but
without parameters, so the methods provided to
attribute_method_suffix, prefix, affix get defined for ALL columns
of the model. You may want to define the prefix/suffix/affix
methods for only a subset of columns however.
Will update with more information, tests, patch, shortly.

Closing ticket. I think the way the method_missing/respond_to is implemented in ActiveRecord, it would be way too tricky to do this selectively define methods for only a subset of columns in ActiveRecord.
