Hi,

Is there a way to use namespaces inside nested resources? For example,  
I have:

resources :users do  
resources :tags  
end

and I’d like to place the tags controller inside controllers/users,  
with the equivalent for templates.

If I try this:

resources :users do  
namespace :users do  
resources :tags  
end  
end

I’ll get redundant route names:

users\_user\_tags, users\_user\_utag, etc

This doesn’t work either:

resources :users do  
resources :tags, :module =\> :users  
end

And yet, nested resources seem like a good candidate to use  
namespaces, to better organize files and avoid name conflicts.

Thanks,

–
