Hello,

map.resources :user, :member =\> { :do\_something =\> :get }

That will generate do\_something\_user\_path and do\_something\_user\_url.  
What if I don’t like those names and instead want something like  
do\_something\_for\_person\_path and do\_something\_for\_person\_url?

Is that possible? Thanks for the help!
