Fixnum and String assignment support for belongs to and has one writers.
Attached is a patch that allows one to assign a Fixnum or String to a belongs_to or has_many association. An example would be good:
class Firm; has_one :account; end
class Account; belongs_to :firm; end
apple = Firm.create("name" => "Apple")
citibank = Account.create("credit_limit" => 10)
citibank.firm = apple.id
assert_equal apple.id, citibank.firm_id
# in reverse
apple.account = citibank.id
Obviously the utility isn't apparent in the examples (taken from
the test cases). It rears its head when you're passing in an ID via
a parameter hash such as from a <select/>. It
also works around the stale associations you end up with when you
assign an *_id which can make your callbacks and validations a
snafu.

I'm not sure I see a lot of value here. But Koz might have something better to say.

sneakinI also extended the select helper to accept an array of records instead of an a array of pairs. To get the selected value I had to drop the "_id", forcing the need or the writter to accept an id. I may have made a ticket with that change.
