Today I got to wondering about admin routing. I used it in my first
Cake project and this morning got to wondering what it does
differently than "normal" prefix routing.  The only information I've
dug up so far simply indicates that setting "Routing.admin" to
whatever value allows you to prefix methods with that value and access
them through URIs where that value appears first:

Configure::write ( 'Routing.admin', 'administrator' ) ->
adminstrator_method_name() -> /administator/controller/method_name

Totally get that and it's a nice shortcut. What I'm wondering is
what's special about "Routing.admin" that keeps me from setting:

Configure::write ( 'Routing.api', 'api' ) -> api_method_name() -> /api/
controller/method_name

I realize I can use prefix routing to do this, but am curious why the
"shortcut" works for admin, but not for other prefixes. An academic
question of sorts, but I haven't found a discussion of the differences
in my searches.

Thanks.
