def options_as_params(options)
  # If an explicit :controller was given, always make :action explicit
  # too, so that action expiry works as expected for things like
  #
  #   generate({:controller => 'content'}, {:controller => 'content', :action => 'show'})
  #
  # (the above is from the unit tests). In the above case, because the
  # controller was explicitly given, but no action, the action is implied to
  # be "index", not the recalled action of "show".
  #
  # great fun, eh?
