heroku/databasedotcom — Issue #16: Person Account update fails

When attempting to update a Person Account record, I'm getting the dreaded:

"(Account: bad field names on insert/update call: Name)"

Most likely because the Account's name is being pulled into memory and when it goes back to Salesforce for an update, Salesforce sees us trying to set the read-only field "Name" for the Person Account.

With the databasedotcom gem, is it possible to make an update call with only specific fields in our patch body?
