Subject: #respond_to? not working for dynamically generated methods

It seems Object#respond_to doesn't work for dynamically generated
methods:

SomeRailsModel.respond_to? 'find_by_name' #=> false

1. Is there some way to *really* check if an object will respond to a
message, even if it will respond by a dynamically generated method?

Right now, Object#respond_to? just doesn't do what it name promises: it
doesn't check if an object responds to a message :foo, only if the
object has a :foo method defined.

Thanks,
Maurice B. Gladwell
