Rails - Jan 2005 - Poor man''s namespacing, bugs all around?

Rails 0.9 introduced the poor-man''s namespacing system (modules).
However I continously keep bumping into all sorts of errors, which make
me think I may be the one at error here.

The latest I''ve run into is that I''m unable to include helpers
for
controllers in modules. So I have

  app/controllers/foo/bar_controller.rb
  app/helpers/foo/bar_helper.rb
  app/views/foo/bar/action.rhtml
  test/functional/foo/bar.rb

but the helper for BarController doesn''t get loaded. Nor does the
helper()
method support strings with a slash so I can''t do it that way either.
Am I
perhaps wrong in how I''m using these modules, or is it really that
buggy?

After discussing a bit on it with David, the answer is that helpers are
only available within views.  If you want to same fonctionnality, just use
plain modules.

It sounds like more work could be done on it. Thanks for signing up. 
Looking forward to your patch.
