[ANN] Inferred Routes plugin for Rails 2.0

Rails
1

Hi everyone –

I’ve updated my Inferred Routes plugin for Rails 2.0. The plugin,
which is somewhat experimental, lets you do this:

collection_item_path(@item)

instead of:

collection_item_path(@item.collection, @item)

and similarly with other nested routes. Basically, the idea is to
prevent you from having to type the whole drill-down of objects.

There are limitations to the plugin – in particular, it only knows
about very vanilla, default association and route naming, and it
doesn’t work with form_for. But if you’d like to save some typing of
easily inferred objects, you might like it (or want to improve it or
suggest improvements).
