validates_numericality_of doesn't honor :allow_nil option (but does :allow_blank)

Reported by Erik Dungan | April 13th, 2011 @ 08:11 PM

In the documentation for the validates_numericality_of validation method, it lists a :allow_nil option. In my Rails 3.0.5 app my model will still not validate if this is set to true.

I tried it with :allow_blank => true and this seems to work. Perhaps the documentation should be updated to reflect this. (I can submit an update but I'm not sure how to do this)
