Oy. I'm getting tied up in knots. I guess the requestHandlerProbe.reply
won't work without a proper sender. I usually put my route definition in an
actor, but moved it to a trait so that it could be used by the test kit.
But I did it like this

def route(requestHandler: ActorRef) = ...

Can anyone point me at a sample which uses the ask pattern in routes, and
also tests the routes with the ScalatestRouteTest?
