/**
 * This abstract controller makes it easy to create a RESTful controller.  To use it, create a
 * subclass which defines the resource type and implements get/post/put/delete methods, like this:
 *
 * class Comment_Controller extends REST_Controller {
 *   protected $resource_type = "comment";  // this tells REST which model to use
 *
 *   public function _index() {
 *     // Handle GET request to controller root
 *   }
 *
 *   public function _show(ORM $comment, $output_format) {
 *     // Handle GET request
 *   }
 *
 *   public function _update(ORM $comment, $output_format) {
 *     // Handle PUT request
 *   }
 *
 *   public function _create(ORM $comment, $output_format) {
 *     // Handle POST request to controller root
 *   }
 *
 *   public function _delete(ORM $comment, $output_format) {
 *     // Handle DELETE request
 *   }
 *
 *   public function form(ORM $comment) {
 *     // Show a form for creating a new comment
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * A request to http://example.com/gallery3/comments/3 will result in a call to
 * REST_Controller::dispatch(3) which will load up the comment associated with id 3.  If there's
 * no such comment, it returns a 404.  Otherwise, it will then delegate to
 * Comment_Controller::get() with the ORM instance as an argument.
