Haha, yeah, it has been done to allow the following syntax:
```php
Router::scope('app', function() { //<- Global scope is changed here to `'app'`
    Router::connect('/ambiguous/{:action}'); <- `Router::connect` attach the route to the `'app'` scope
});
```
The other option is to pass the scope option on each `Router::connect`:
```php
Router::connect('/ambiguous/{:action}', array(), array('scope' => 'app');
```
which is a little bit more verbose imo.
