cant use by_month if january

[jtoy]

if its january 2015, you cant use do queries like:
.by_year('2014').by_month('december')
or
.by_month('december') #<--- this is should go to the past month, not future month.

how could you do this with just by_month?
Im trying to use by_star to pass parameters directly to the url which then get passed to by_star.

It should work if you do .by_month(Time.parse('2014-12-01')), in other words pass-in a Date or Time object which is anytime in the desired month.

Note also that ByStar does not currently allow repeating queries, e.g. query for all objects which happen in any December regardless of year. If this is your intention, I recommend add an additional field to your database which stores the month of the year as an integer, and write your own query for that.
