https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/MONGOID-4914 implemented delegation of association#find to Enumerable#find to filter the association in application process space.

The same can be done for top-level model classes.

Example code demonstrating the problem:

irb(main):005:0> Band.find { |x| p x }
=> nil

Here I expected the block to be called for each band and the first band to be returned, but I got nil and the block was not invoked.
