Merb slices

Ezra just posted about a new feature for merb - slices. Seems like these cover much of what the engines plugin enables for Rails - sharing models, controllers, views and assets between your applications. It’s really great to see framework-level support for this kind of development style, as it can be incredibly powerful; certainly there’s a balance to be sought when sharing implementation between projects, but that balance is for the developer to gauge, without necessarily having to work against the framework. Great stuff!
