I love the simply_restful plugin (beautiful work Jamis) but wonder why
the naming convention changed to look for pluralized controllers by

If you do:
 map.resource :message
then you must have a MessagesController.

If you already have a MessageController you need:
 map.resource :message, :controller => 'message'
which is slightly less DRY.

Is this a change in convention to pluralize controller names?  Almost
all the examples in the docs and rails books use singular controller
names.  I'd be happy to make a patch if this is an unwanted
side-effect of the plugin.

simply_restful addresses collections of resources and their members so pluralization feels natural. (The scaffold generator has used pluralized names for months, too.)
