find_finder_class_for(record)

protected

The check for an existing value should be run from a class that isn’t abstract. This means working down from the current class (self), to the first non-abstract class. Since classes don’t know their subclasses, we have to build the hierarchy between self and the record’s class.

          class_hierarchy.insert(0, class_hierarchy.first.superclass)
        end

        class_hierarchy.detect { |klass| !klass.abstract_class? }
      end
