Allow helpers directory to be overridden
This patch allows the helpers directory for helper
:all to be overridden.
It can be set using the helpers_dir class accessor
on ActionController::Base or its descendants or via
config.action_controller.helpers_dir =
'/path/to/helpers' in the Rails initializer block.
The helpers directory must be in the load path.

DHHNot that I don't like the patch, but I'm curious as to the use case that prompted this?

Sam PohlenzIn my latest project (yes, its a CMS), I'm aiming to keep the root folder structure as clean as possible (i.e. only plugins/, themes/, public/, config/, cms/) and keep all code related to the cms core tucked away in its own folder.
I've done this to steer developers away from extending functionality directly inside the "app" folder and to instead build their functionality as plugins.
Rails has done very well so far to accommodate this (I've been pleasantly surprised actually) and this is the only pain point (and its a small one) I've come across so far.
