Find Many and return specific columns

Eloquent method find() may accept multiple parameters, and then it returns a Collection of all records found with specified columns, not all columns of Model:

// Will return Eloquent Model with first_name and email only
$user = User::find(1, ['first_name', 'email']);
// Will return Eloquent Collection with first_name and email only
$users = User::find([1,2,3], ['first_name', 'email']);
