parametrized routes

[plentz]

If I have a matcher like this(parametrized):

match "/:controller/foo", :to =>  ":controller#foo"

It says that it's an unused route and as a consequence, it says that my action methods #foo are unreachable.

Hmm, I haven't imagined that case.
Are you sure you do use that sort of route in your real world app?
IMO, wildcard routes should basically be avoided to use, since it's hard to trace which action method is actually in use and which action is not. That is totally un-RESTful.
For example, how can you add a new resource that does not respond to #foo in your example routes?

Yup, we use. It's just a helper method that we add in some controllers to make the app ajaxier. Since it's easier to map it with the wildcard, we preferred that way instead of doing one-by-one.
