Wow, tested this just now by removing the index method from routes with except: :index, and sure enough, the helper still works. This directly contradicts what I heard from Obie Fernandez a number of years ago at the Philly ETE conference. Probably used to be true, and didn't survive the many changes to Rails over the years. I tried removing the index method from my widgets_controller too, just to see if that was the source, and I can't make this helper give up. Very odd.
