Is there a historical reason why #transaction is defined as both an instance and class method within ActiveRecord models? I bring this up specifically because it prevents us from using "transaction" as an association name like so:
class PaymentTransaction < ActiveRecord::Base end
class PaymentAccount < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :transaction, :class_name => 'PaymentTransaction' end
This obviously won't work because the #transaction instance method is used throughout ActiveRecord::Transactions instead of the class method.
Does anyone have any thoughts on solely using the class method to avoid a common name collision like this?
