I have question about setting up PathPart's and Chaining. I am trying to set something that has the following look:

/namespace/ => This lists out a list of objects
/namespace/<id> => displays detail information about the object with the numeric id=<id>
/namespace/<id>/edit => brings up a form to edit object with numeric id=<id>
/namespace/create => brings up a form to create a new object

When the Chained actions are printed out everything looks fine, but when I goto "/namespace/create" it matches the "/namespace/<id>" view action. Needless to say, there isn't an object with the numeric id of "create."

I would like for Catalyst to try and match the explicit PathPart before matching the wild card that is <id>. Any thoughts on best ways to get around this?
A couple of ways I thought of were:

I could make the view path be "/namespace/<id>/view," it seems a little weird, but would be acceptable if need be.

I could have an action that matches "/namespace/*" and then forward to the create action if "*" is "create" and to the view action other wise, but this could limit my ability to further chain from here.

Catalyst just might not match the paths in a way that is conducive to this, but just thought I'd throw this out there.
