# Custom handling or arguments:
# Allows things like User.with_arguments(1, 2, 3).find(:order => 'id DESC')
#    result: => User.find(1, 2, 3, :order => 'id DESC')
# but also checks to see that arguments are valid.
#
# Also, allows us to condense patterns like:  record.perform_action! if record.respond_to?(:perform_action!)
# by doing the following instead              record.maybe.perform_action!
