using with scope_out

I've been using scope_out to define finders on my models

class Task < ActiveRecord::Base

	scope_out       :recent_incomplete,  	:conditions => {:completed => nil}, 
	                                  		:order => 'tasks.created_at DESC',
	                                  		:include => :user
end

and I also have a User model which has many tasks

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

	has_many :tasks
	
end

The database table has a range of tasks for different users, some complete, some not.

and I was wanting to use these with will_paginate so I could do the following in my controller:

  @all_incomplete_tasks = Task.paginate_recent_incomplete(:all, :page => params[:page])

  @user_incomplete_tasks = current_user.tasks.paginate_recent_incomplete(:all, :page => params[:page])

However, the problem I found was that although the correct records were returned by the call to paginate_recent_incomplete, the total number of records (and hence the number of pages) was incorrect as it ignores the scoping implied by scope_out (wp_count! doesn't take this into account).

I've updated the code for wp_count! so it handles the above syntax when used with scope_out and doesn't break the existing tests. I've, however, not added any tests to validate the code I've added. I'm only just starting to learn about testing so that's a bit beyond me for the moment.

Not sure if this is a sensible thing to do or not - patch attached for your perusal though

Cheers
