however...
<a href="missing.html"> is still non-existant... it doesn't take a
look around for /missing.html as well
...and, this would also mean that an admin/users controller which
referenced a url_for :controller => 'pages' would access /pages up
until the moment you add admin/pages and then the behaviour would
change.
too much magic for my liking.
document the existing behaviour properly and it is consistent (and
well documented).
cheers.
