url_for can add in a URL anchor when one is provided as the anchor
keyword.

Yes, I hadn't really seen anyone using the page anchor to control
dispatch. I also was missing a unit test for this, which reveals that
you found a bug! Wooo!! Clearly an anchor like # should be treated
like '/'. I've added this capability in Routes trunk, which will let
the map.connect statement there work just fine, and it'll add in the
anchor as needed. Note that this will make it possible to have double
anchor's should you use a route that has an anchor in it, and send in
the anchor keyword to url_for.
