Can I create a model instance with one of parameters named *attributes*?

[mlt]

I have a legacy DB. One of the columns is named attributes. It does cause lots of pain even with bad_attribute_names :attributes. I was trying to call MyModule::MyModel.new(params_with_attributes), but I get an ArgumentError exception in #assign_attributes at activerecord (4.2.10) lib/active_record/attribute_assignment.rb saying When assigning attributes, you must pass a hash as an argument.. Is it the dead end? I'm about to rename the column.

I’d rename it or use Sequel. https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel/blob/master/README.rdoc
