      I'd like a way to set a field to it's default value. I've found the #apply_default method but it doesn't seem to be designed for this purpose. Specifically:

      1. It doesn't work on a field after it's been set
      2. It doesn't consider aliased fields

      What do you suggest?

      Here's the current:

          def apply_default(name)
      unless attributes.has_key?(name)
        if field = fields[name]
          default = field.eval_default(self)
          unless default.nil? || field.lazy?
            attribute_will_change!(name)
            attributes[name] = default
          end
        end
      end
    end
