Magic Routing toggle

If we're going to have things "magically" happen, I would argue that the magic should be OFF by default and require the developer to turn it on.

Of course, some are going to just turn it on and move on and <deity> help them when it all blows up (and it will). If it's OFF by default, then at least maybe some of them will learn what's going on behind the scenes before they go all nuts with automagical events.

One of the things I dislike about Laravel is the huge amount of automagic that is incredibly difficult to debug when the previous programmer was doing resume-driven development.

While I agree that having automagic off would be best, it should default to ON so it doesn't break backwards compatibility from the get go.

As for laravel, they do a lot of magic, but you still have to declare your routes with them. Their routing system is fantastic.
