In Rails 2 I was able to specify extra parameters within a route, like  
this:  
map.login “login”, :controller =\> “user\_sessions”, :action =\> “new”,  
:tag\_index =\> true  
The tag\_index would be available in the controller via  
params[:tag\_index].

I’ve searched to find a simular solution within Rails 3, but I’m still  
unable to find it. Does anybody know a solution?
