+      # There are two ways to use this.  The recommended way is to pass a symbol

+      #   def Artist.by_name(name)

+      # This creates an optimized first_by_name method, which you can call normally:
+      #
+      #   Artist.first_by_name("Joe")
+      #
+      # The alternative way to use this to pass your own block:
+      #
+      #   Artist.finder(:name=>:first_by_name){|pl, ds| ds.where(:name=>pl.arg).limit(1)}
+      #
+      # Note that if you pass your own block, you are responsible for manually setting
+      # limits if necessary (as shown above).
+      #
+      # Options:
+      # :arity :: When using a symbol method name, this specifies the arity of the method.
+      #           This should be used if if the method accepts an arbitrary number of arguments,
+      #           or the method has default argument values.  Note that if the method is defined
+      #           as a dataset method, the class method Sequel creates accepts an arbitrary number
+      #           of arguments, so you should use this option in that case.  If you want to handle
+      #           multiple possible arities, you need to call the finder method multiple times with
+      #           unique :arity and :name methods each time.
+      # :name :: The name of the method to create.  This must be given if you pass a block.
+      #          If you use a symbol, this defaults to the symbol prefixed by the type.
+      # :mod :: The module in which to create the finder method.  Defaults to the singleton
+      #         class of the model.
+      # :type :: The type of query to run.  Can be :first, :each, :all, or :get, defaults to
+      #          :first.
+      #
+      # Caveats:
+      #
+      # This doesn't handle all possible cases.  For example, if you have a method such as:
+      #
+      #   def Artist.by_name(name)
+      #     name ? where(:name=>name) : exclude(:name=>nil)
+      #   end
