Diggin' the new dynamic finders in Grails 1.1

This is sweet. Concise but still expressive:

        // both work, 2nd is new in Grails 1.1
        //def itemList = Item.findAll("from Item item where item.id in (:allIds)", ["allIds": allIds])
        def itemList = Item.findAllByIdInList(allIds)

If you need an IDE for this beta release, you can try the Intellij IDEA EAP release for 8.1, the IDEA 8.0.1 release does NOT support Grails 1.1Beta2.
