This allows to have a consistent API in case you have custom methods in
your !RestController, exposing them the same way as the default REST
verbs.

For example you can define get_archive() and post_archive() in your
"movies" controller from the moviedemo example:
{{{
custom_actions = ['archive']

@expose('moviedemo.templates.forms.form')
def get_archive(self, movie_id, **kwargs):
"""Display a ARCHIVE confirmation form."""

@expose('moviedemo.templates.forms.result')
def post_archive(self, movie_id):
"""Archive a movie"""
}}}

or just
{{{
custom_actions = ['archive']

@expose('moviedemo.templates.forms.result')
def archive(self, movie_id):
"""Archive a project"""
}}}

and use them like this:

GET /movies/1/archive

POST /movies/1?_method=ARCHIVE

Comment:

implemented in http://bitbucket.org/turbogears/tg-
dev/changeset/39da27c2c339/ (2.1b2 release) uses _custom_actions instead
of custom_actions for the attribute. Needs to be documented. Tests have
been added for the use case.
