Array-like browsing for models
I came up with an idea (patch added), to allow array-like browsing of models.
Example: instead of using Model.find(params[:id]), you can use Model[params[:id]]

Clemens KoflerI think I've once seen this in a plugin and I didn't like it. Model.find makes it really clear what's going on (i.e. finding an object) where Model[] (IMO) doesn't. It's a mere shortcut where you give up clarity for brevity and I don't like it, sorry.

José ValimI agree with Clemens!

Josh SusserAnother -1 here. I've taken to using the [] for working with models in a certain way. Like the Setting class can interact with its settings using Setting[:foo] and Setting[:foo] = 17. I'd rather retain that flexibility than save a few characters and give up clarity.
