PATCH: ActiveRecord::Base.subclasses is not publicly accessible
"subclasses" class method is not accessible on ActiveRecord::Base class, but it is on other classes like ActionController::Base.
Knowing the subclasses of AR::Base is pretty useful for every day usage. Currently, I have to resort to the "send hack" to access this information (not considering scanning the ObjectSpace an option).
ActiveRecord::Base.subclasses returns a new Array each time it is called, so should not be possible to affect AR sane behavior by manipulating the array returned.
Patch is attached.

Craig Buchek+1 -- I've found this very useful.
Patch still applies cleanly as of 2010-04-12 / 3c456a869abeb0a639518180214db5ead428aedf.
Was unable to test ActiveRecord, due to my configuration.

+1 It is useful to have access to this for plugins. I would like to see this added as well.
