named_scope sum should delegate to Enumerable

#2328

The sum method in named_scope assumes ActiveRecord sum. There may be other enumerable conflicts.

I am currently using the following implementation for sum

  # sum with a block goes to Enumerable, otherwise it is an ActiveRecord calculation
  def sum(*args, &block)
    if block
      proxy_found.sum(*args, &block)
    else
      super(*args)
    end || 0
  end

Personally i think that named_scope's sum being an activerecord sum is the right thing - scopes generally behave almost exactly like the original class, just with extra conditions, order etc... (much like associations)

Uou can always force the named_scope to an array and call sum on that if you really want Enumerable's sum

I have the same implementation now for Enumerable#count. The main problem with the idea behind this ticket would be if someone extended ActiveRecord sum or count to use blocks, it wouldn't work. to_a is a reasonable solution.
