Add scoping and unscoped as the syntax to replace the old with_scope and with_exclusive_scope. A few examples:

* with_scope now should be scoping:

Before:

  Comment.with_scope(:find => { :conditions => { :post_id => 1 } }) do
    Comment.first #=> SELECT * FROM comments WHERE post_id = 1
  end

After:

  Comment.where(:post_id => 1).scoping do
    Comment.first #=> SELECT * FROM comments WHERE post_id = 1
  end

* with_exclusive_scope now should be unscoped:

  class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
    default_scope :published => true
  end

  Post.all #=> SELECT * FROM posts WHERE published = true

Before:

  Post.with_exclusive_scope do
    Post.all #=> SELECT * FROM posts
  end

After:

  Post.unscoped do
    Post.all #=> SELECT * FROM posts
  end

Notice you can also use unscoped without a block and it will return an anonymous scope with default_scope values:

  Post.unscoped.all #=> SELECT * FROM posts
