Odd YAML output when passing to select()

[ashb]

Attempting to use the 'Intelligent hash condition mapping' I was trying to get the following SQL:

SELECT histories.*, count(*), sum(vendor_earnings) FROM `histories`

so I tried the following:

History.select( [ { :histories => '*' }, :count.func( '*' ), :sum.func( :vendor_earnings) ] ).to_sql

But it didn't work. Two things wrong as you can see in what it actually produced:

> History.select( [ {:histories => '*' }, :count.func( '*' ), :sum.func( :vendor_earnings) ] ).debug_sql
 => "SELECT '--- \\n:histories: \\\"*\\\"\\n', count('*'), sum(vendor_earnings) FROM `histories`" 

The two issues are

1. '*' instead of just *
2. The odd yaml

Its possible I'm just using MetaWhere for something its not designed for (select vs where) but its tantalisingly close to Just Working.
