Actually, you can get back the rails functionality by specifying
the :key option (which only changes the key used in the params hash).
Granted, it's a bit uglier, but it doesn't really feel like what
should be done anyway.
identify(ActiveRecord::Base => :to_param) do
resources :locations, :key => :id do
resources :shops, :key => :id
end
end
