I took it one step further...
>>> URL()
/app/default/index
>>> URL('test')
/app/default/test
>>> def test(): return 'test'
>>> URL(test)
/app/default/test
>>> URL('static','filename')
/app/static/filename
>>> URL('other','static','filename')
/other/static/filename
No more r=, c=, f= needed but all optional.
