Super-abstraction feature request

#104

This feature request/offer-to-help may go in a direction you don't wish to take Ambition. No worries, if so.

I want to use the ruby interface offered by Ambition to query my ActiveLDAP records. Or any other ActiveThingy that turns up.

LDAP search filters should be easy to create using the tree-parsing that Ambition already does. They might even be easier to implement, given the nested structure with prefix boolean operators.

The AR/SQL specific helpers and process_* methods would have to be extracted into modules that you mix into WhereProcessor. Which module gets included can be determined by what ActiveThingy::Base class gets the extend(Ambition) call.

This would require substantial restructuring, obviously. I would be glad to contribute proportionately.

    FYI, I'm attending Lone Star Ruby Conf, if you have any interest in chatting about this.
