I was so excited to get going that I started on a plug-in, but if it's
likely it will actually make it in, then I'll just code against trunk
(just barely started).  Or should I do it as a plug-in to make it
usable until it makes it in?  I'd definitely love to give this a shot,
though.  It might be easier to me to make a separate scaffold_resource
call to match the generator, and so I can avoid having to deal with
the suffix for multiple models issue (since a REST controller won't
have that).

I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out, so it might not be completely
beyond my abilities to implement this, but those two patches were my
first, so my ruby-fu might be lacking some.  If I can get pointers
here or there on the trickier parts (for instance I am currently
having to use @scaffold_edit_model_path.call in the view templates,
and really can't quite figure out any way to get the named route to
work dynamically in the controller code, such as in the :verify line)
it'd help.

Of course, I don't develop with-out version control, so maybe I'll
have to set it up as a plug-in first, anyways, so I can commit as I
go?

Oh, one of my immediate questions, where are the tests for the
scaffolding code?  If I do a plug-in I'll obviously be doing my own,
but it'd be
