[Solar-talk] request: split the front controller, add a mapper

[Rodrigo Moraes]

Hi,
We have talked about this proposal before. Now it is official. :-)

The current Solar_Controller_Front is not very flexible to map a url
to a controller / action. It is simple to add a bit of flexibility to
this: split fetch and add a mapper (or "router") instance defined on
config. The default $config['mapper'] would be
'Solar_Controller_Mapper' (change to your preferred name), and it
would have exactly the current front controller map logic. The method
map() (other names: match(), or route()) would return an array
containing a controller class name and a action name.

Here is a proposal following strictly the current front controller:

Why, if this changes almost nothing? To let people try and propose
other mappers - one that uses placeholders or has different default
fallback, etc.

Thoughts? Other ideas?
