normally you would call the URL function this way:
URL('application','controller','function',args=[], vars={})
as a shortcut URL can figure the application, the controller and the
function from the current request
URL(r=request) is the url currently requested
and you can override for example the function
URL(r=request, f='index')
Hope this helps. I am considering making r=request be there by default
but it is not easy to make in a backward compatible way.
