Re: [development] strange inconsistency: 'custom_url_rewrite'

Hi there,

while writing a tiny module to make these fancy 'web2.0' *cough* urls in the form of tag1+tag2+tag3 I ran across a rather strange issue.

custom_url_rewrite works as expected, but is rather OO unfriendly. I mean, if I define that, Drupal wil FAil to even load if someone adds another module with this, or if a person has this function define in her settings.php.

Why is this not hook_url_rewrite? Am I missing something? Is it a performance thing?

Big +1 from me to transitioning URL rewrite to a hook.
