Links but with extra tasty bits

Ever seen code like this?

<%= link_to('Edit', edit_something_path(something), :class => 'edit round', :title => "Edit record for #{record.owner}") %>

Before you know it your templates start looking like php, and God knows we don't need that.

Obviously the best is to move it into a helper

module SomethingHelper
  def link_to_edit_something(something)
    title = "Edit record for #{record.owner}"
    path = edit_something_path(something)

    return link_to('Edit', path, :class => 'edit round', :title => title)
  end
end

Nice neat and reusable.

So whats your point?

This plugin allows you to change the calling code from this:
```
<%= link_to_edit_something(something) %>
```
to this:
```
<%= link_to :edit => something %>
```
Tasty hash syntax
