ACL with routes

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the usage of ACL with routes.

A long time ago (when ACL was only based on the INI file...) I wrote a
component that allows me to easily grant/block access to actions
depending on roles the authenticated users are linked to. Its
configuration allows to check for distinct action names or by granting/
blocking access on whole routes.

This allows me to say for instance that all admin_xxx actions can be
accessed only by users linked to an ADMIN role, and manage_xxx actions
can only be accessed by users linked to a MANAGER role.

But today I'm really considering to replace my custom Component by the
ACL + Auth core components, as it has become fully usable over time. I
have read the ACL doc and made the ACL tutorial, and I didn't see
anything about using routes as ACOs.

So my question is simple, is the ACL configurable in a way that routes
can be considered as ACOs ? Or do we have to manage ACL rights each
time a new action is added in a controller if we want a user/group to
be able to access the new action ?

Thanks,
Nicolas
