Yes, sorry - I think I gave the wrong impression in the last mail  
(i.e. I was full of crap).

'index' and 'default' are only special in the root namespace (and  
this was the regression which was fixed recently, any attributed  
method named 'index' started being used, despite other attributes...

Path with no arguments also behaves exactly as you suggest.
