All it does is taking the model name and suffix it with _id. Specifying
:foreign_key option should work.

:foreign_key
Specify the foreign key used for the association. By default this is
guessed to be the name of this class in lower-case and "_id"
suffixed. So a Person class that makes a has_and_belongs_to_many
association to Project will use "person_id" as the default
:foreign_key.
