Model::find / Model::findFirst conditions from associative array

Elo bird lovers!

Is there any way to pass in an associative array as conditions for find / findFirst? I've found no clue in the forums/docs/source...

You can already bind parameters like so:

$conditions = ['type_id'=>42, 'enabled'=>1];
$robot = Robot::findFirst([
    'conditions' => 'type_id=:type_id: AND enabled=:enabled:',
    'bind' => $conditions,
]);

I was wondering if you could do something like (laziness rulz):

$conditions = ['type_id'=>42, 'enabled'=>1];
$robot = Robot::findFirst([
    'conditions' => $conditions,
]);

So if the conditions is an array, it expands automagically to the correct string and bind?

I could also write a static method, but would rather use the built-in features if there is such :]

class MyModel extends Phalcon\Mvc\Model {
    public static function arrayConditions(array $conditions, array $parameteres=[]) {
        if(count($conditions)>0) {
            $c = '';
            foreach($conditions as $field=>$value) $c.= ' AND '.$field.'=:'.$field.':';
            $c = substr($c,5);
            $parameters = array_merge($parameters, [
                'conditions' => $c,
                'bind' => $conditions,
            ]);
        }
        return $parameters;
    }
}

$conditions = ['type_id'=>42, 'enabled'=>1];
$robot = Robot::findFirst(MyModel::arrayConditions($conditions));

Cheers!
