Been thinking of adding some special support for composite keys so you can define them on your model and it will automatically create the key and allow you to query on them.

eg:

class MyModel < SimpleRecord::Base

belongs_to :something

has_dates :somedate

composite_key :something, :somedate, ....

end

That would create a key based on those fields so you could query on it with something like:

:conditions=>["#{MyModel.ck_name(:something, :somedate)} > ?", MyModel.ck_val(some_id, 7.days.ago)]

That conditions part seems a little overcomplicated, but something like that anyways.
