If I have the following route defined: map.connect ''/foo/bar/:baz'', :requirements => {:baz => /^\d+$/} then if someone asks for /foo/bar/3 I noticed that :baz == "3" instead of :baz == 3. I.E. it is a string not a number. (At least it does this in the functional testing of the routing). This seems reasonable because I have not told it to expect a number but it would be nice if there was a way I could specify that. Didn''t see anything in the documentation. Anything I missed or should I just params[:baz].to_i in my controller?
