Return instance of Object when calling object.load #60

Right now, calling object.load returns a boolean (I think?). It would be really nice for chaining if you could call object.load and have the instance returned. Here's a use case:

ont = Ontology.find("SNOMED").load
latest = ont.latest_submission.load

This would probably be good for object.save as well, with object.delete returning nil. This assumes that all of these methods throw exceptions on failure (so the boolean isn't really needed)
