Rails - Aug 2010 - match default verb

The default verb for match is :any.  This means for:

  match ''dog/bark(/:num)'' => ''dogs#bark'' 
# get 3 barks
  match ''dog/eat'' => ''dogs#eat''   # post
breakfast

someone could post on dog/bark with :louder or get on dog/eat
with :breakfast.  This is annoying and messy, and definitely not
RESTful.

In moving to Rails 3, I''m finding it better to use the verb instead of
using match with :via => :verb:

  get ''dog/bark'' => ''dogs#bark''
  post ''dog/eat'' => ''dogs#eat''

There is a lot of emphasis on match in the routing comments.  Wouldn''t
it be better to either default to :via => :get for match or recommend
verb methods over the match method?

I want to make sure I understand the differences too.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
