foreign key referencing nonprimary key

In a legacy schema sometimes we may discover foreign key constraints that don't follow the simple "FK references PK" rule, but "FK references UNIQUE column" rule. Is there a way to mapping this with :foreing_key=> ... or some other mechanism with ActiveRecord?

You'll want to specify the relevant field (on both the has_many and belongs_to) by passing the :primary_key option.
