Method for checking if an object can be destroyed based on its dependent restrict associations

[Santiago Palladino]

I have added a small method for checking if an object can be destroyed
by checking if its associations marked as dependent restrict are empty
or not. Since it seems something common to do, I wanted to ask if you
think it is worth adding it to ActiveRecord, in which case I can fork
it and add the change (as well as tests and doc), as described in
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html

The gist for the monkeypatch I am doing now in the app is

My apologies if this is not the appropriate channel for discussing
this. If it is not, I would appreciate some advice regarding where to
ask this question or how to proceed.

Thanks!
