polymorphic_urls and REST routes

Hi,

  With a simple STI Employee < Person, I can write in the Person
view.rhtml.erb :

...
link_to ''Show'', person
...

and the correct controller will be call depending on the actual
(concrete) type of the record.
I think this is because link_to() uses polymorphic_url() internally.

However, the restful helpers, such as edit_person_path() fail to
choose the correct controller and always route to the Person
controller. This seems inconsistent and confusing.

How can I reroute edit_person_path() to take the polymorphic type into
account, and route to the correct controller?

Is this by design or a bug?

I hope I made myself clear.
Thanks,
Adi
