Two things I'd like to know about:

Is the leading ':' in the second example on the first
constructor-argument ('new/:id') left out by purpose? If so, is there an
explanation of the meaning of the ':'?

Does the first argument on the ->addRoute function have any special
maaning? To be more precise, is 'default' a special keyword here, or is
this just used as some arbitrary identifier?

Thx and Greets,
Peter
