Ruby on Rails

Nice tip - thanks. I notice that Ryan uses this in his routes file:

map.with_options :controller => 'info' do |info|
info.about 'about', :action => 'about'
info.contact 'contact', :action => 'contact'
info.privacy 'privacy', :action => 'privacy'
end

Is that still valid in a 3.0/3.1 Rails environment?
