Ever find yourself in a situation where you wanted to delegate attributes from one model to an associated model unless they were specified in the original model?

I did, and I came up with a revamped version of Rails’ delegate method that not only checks if the original model has a value specified before delegating it to the associated model, but also checks that the associated model exists.

Grab the gist here: http://gist.github.com/70186

Example usage is included in it.
