[Proposal] URI Segments for Route::resource

[cmenke]

The most recent changes to Resource Controllers "broke" the ability to specify URI segments using slashes. Prior to the update, this would work fine:

Route::resource('admin/user', 'Admin\\UserController');

I'm not sure Route::resource was ever intended to be used this way. It might be nice to have a little more control over the URI, though – especially when working on larger projects where it makes sense to prefix URI-segments to differentiate between areas of an app.

In regard to the current implementation in Router.php – and considering that this might not be a common issue – these approaches may also be an option:

// Using a 'uri' Option
Route::resource('user', 'Admin\\UserController', array('uri' => 'admin/user'));

// Using a 'prefix' Option
Route::resource('user', 'Admin\\UserController', array('prefix' => 'admin'));

EDIT: Proposal #181 could be a neat solution to this as well:

Route::group(array('base' => 'admin'), function() {

    // Responds to Request::root() . '/admin/user'
    Route::resource('user', 'Admin\\UserController');

});

Thoughts?

I am also faced with this issue, as of now, I have removed the forward slash to make it work on my current project, however as it is proposed on #181 which can help sort this resources into a group of resources.

Can be done using the prefix key in a Route::group.
