route_to matcher

The route_to matcher specifies that a request (verb + path) is routable.
It is most valuable when specifying routes other than standard RESTful
routes.

get("/").should route_to("welcome#index") # new in 2.6.0

or

{ :get => "/" }.should route_to(:controller => "welcome")
Scenarios
  1. passing route spec with shortcut syntax
  2. passing route spec with verbose syntax
  3. route spec for a route that doesn't exist (fails)
  4. route spec for a namespaced route with shortcut specifier
  5. route spec for a namespaced route with verbose specifier
