Rails - Jul 2006 - Battle of Namings: stylesheet_link_tag vs link_to_javascript

Link helper namings counterintuitive in an environment where convention over 
configuration prevails: 

<%= link_to_javascript ''myscript'' %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag ''mystyle'' %> 

A simple def in ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper would fix things in a 
nice, backward-compatible way, such that: 

<%= link_to_javascript ''myscript'' %>
<%= link_to_stylesheet ''mystyle'' %> 

In the meantime I can do a def in my own app''s helpers.

Submit a patch, with docs and tests.
