# Find operates with four different retrieval approaches:
#
# * Find by id - This can either be a specific id (1), a list of ids (1, 5, 6), or an array of ids ([5, 6, 10]).
- # If no record can be found for all of the listed ids, then RecordNotFound will be raised.
+ # If no record can be found for all of the listed ids, then RecordNotFound will be raised. If the primary key
+ # is an integer, find by id coerces its arguments using +to_i+.
# * Find first - This will return the first record matched by the options used. These options can either be specific
# conditions or merely an order. If no record can be matched, +nil+ is returned. Use
# <tt>Model.find(:first, *args)</tt> or its shortcut <tt>Model.first(*args)</tt>.
