It would be good not to add new grammar to the config (e.g. FrontController).
Default has the issues raised on the dev@ list discussion thread. Fallback is
good. But Fallback alone seems awfully general and hard for the administrator
who comes across it to predict what it does when they first encounter it.
Is it a Handler, Action or Mapping? I found Nick's choice amusing ;-) Since
the syntax and behavior mirror the Action directive (without a first argument,
of course) and we do not specify a handler name, it seems that FallbackAction
is the most easy-to-comprehend choice.
I'd accept that. But I was never 100% convinced by any of the
second-word candidates. What's actually implemented is an
internal URL, and the nearest (very close) analogy is
DirectoryIndex.
DrBacchus and I are both on IRC, where we discussed this a couple
of hours ago. Why don't you join us? I'm sure if anyone else were
so concerned about it as to have a problem with us chatting off-list,
they'd have contributed to the subject by now.
