* refactor ms planner (renaming, reorganization) * fix a bug originaly demonstrated by test_version_depends_on * enhance crossed relation support, though there is still some bug renaming. some tests were actually wrong. Buggy tests (wether they fail or not, they are byggy) marked by XXXFIXME)

"""associate url's path to view identifier / rql queries

It currently handle url's path with the forms

* <publishing_method>

* minimal REST publishing:
  * <eid>
  * <etype>[/<attribute name>/<attribute value>]*

* folder navigation


You can actually control URL (more exactly path) resolution using URL path
evaluator.

XXX actionpath and folderpath execute a query whose results is lost
because of redirecting instead of direct traversal
