Hi,

I have something like this:

scope :module =\> ‘xxxx’, :constraints =\> { :subdomain =\> ‘xxxx’ } do  
match ‘/’, :to =\> ‘welcome#index’, :as =\> :xxxx\_root  
end

Is there a way to add to scope naming prefix. For example

scope :name =\> ‘name’ do  
match ‘/’, :to =\> ‘welcome#index’, :as =\> :root  
end

would be named name\_root, and I could use rails hepers.

Thanks

Marek
