I've just noticed that the :requirements option on a route doesn't
like Regexp options.
for example
map.vat_validity "#{active_vat_url}/:country_code/:vat_number",
:controller => 'vat_numbers', :action => 'show',
:requirements => {
:country_code => /#{valid_eu_country}/i
}
completely ignores the 'ignore case' option at the end of the Regexp.
I've traced the problem to the way the Regexp is recast in
'generation_requirements' in the routing.rb. Essentially the options
from the original regexp are not being passed to Regexp.new when it is
recast. It looks like a simple patch.
However with routing being a complex beast I was wondering if somebody
with better knowledge of the routing code than I could let me know if
this is by design or whether it is the oversight it looks like.
