This is actually pretty cool, but I'm genuinely curious why it's advantageous to write the routes in the controller files instead of one central place that's easily maintained? CakePHP, (http://book.cakephp.org/view/46/Routes-Configuration http://book.cakephp.org/view/46/Routes-Configuration) for example, can do all of what this does out of the box without the need for an application to monitor your routes. REST also seems very well implemented : http://book.cakephp.org/view/476/REST http://book.cakephp.org/view/476/REST Am I missing something? Can someone explain the benefits?
