I have some experience of explaining to ActiveRecord a naming convention 
for tables, primary and foreign keys of a legacy database. Although it's 
not difficult to do with current AR, it required changing some behaviors 
of ActiveRecord::Base that were not part of a published interface. So, I 
second this proposal.

But let's go one step further and call it AbstractModel, a class that 
would (similar to ApplicationController) contain behaviors common for 
all model classes, _including_ the DB naming convention. In both Rails 
applications I wrote to date some such construct was needed.
