Please expand on this. How would this look? Often times you don't have
an js option for something, so if we just expect you to an error would
occur. Instead of now, where we just do a 406.
Basically, we decide upon a default type order and intersect that
with the available view files. Let's say the default response order
is :html, :xml, :js
If we have an action foo with the view files foo.rhtml and foo.rjs,
we'll get this:
respond_to(:html, :js)
Notice that xml is out, because we don't have a view file for it.
Following this reasoning, for action bar which only has the standard
bar.rhtml file, things will work exactly as they do now. (as if you
had only respond_to(:html))
Makes sense?
