I’m trying to generate a scaffold based on a model in a namespace and  
I would like the controller to have a similar namespace.

Am I thinking that scaffold should be doing something it doesn’t or is  
this a bug?

rails version: 1.2.3  
ruby version: 1.8.5  
OS: OS X 10.4.10

Created a model using

> script/generate model Foo::Bar  
> creates the model bar.rb in the model/foo directory and the migration  
> for table foo\_bars  
> and migrated to generate the table in the DB

> script/generate scaffold Foo::Bar Foo::Bar  
> – responds "try creating a table for your model (Foo::Bar)

if I try

> script/generate scaffold FooBar Foo::Bar  
> creates the controller structure correctly (controllers/foo/  
> bar\_controller.rb) but adds the dependency model  
> models/foo\_bar.rb
