Hello

Given the following rules

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do |map|

```
resources :accounts do
    resources :comments
end

match '*path' => redirect("/accounts/%{path}")

```

end

Can we get ActionDispatch to, rather than redirect, re-run the routes?  
This would come in handy for using account handles, as in

[http://mymusicwebsite.com/metallica/comments](http://mymusicwebsite.com/metallica/comments)  
[http://mymusicwebsite.com/metallica/comments/2](http://mymusicwebsite.com/metallica/comments/2)

rather than

[http://mymusicwebsite.com/accounts/metallica](http://mymusicwebsite.com/accounts/metallica)  
[http://mymusicwebsite.com/accounts/metallica/comments](http://mymusicwebsite.com/accounts/metallica/comments)  
[http://mymusicwebsite.com/accounts/metallica/comments/2](http://mymusicwebsite.com/accounts/metallica/comments/2)

Any help appreciated.
