Better syntax for form_for with namespaced routes

#6451

Instead of having

form_for([:backend, @team])

for namespaced resources, a nicer syntax would be

form_for(@team, :namespace => :backend)

or for nested namespaces

form_for(@team, :namespace => "backend/code_red")

Maybe I'm not understanding correctly, but I don't think adding :namespace here is an improvement. Using [:namespace, :namespace, @item] seems more intuitive to me.

Is there anything I'm missing? :)

Along with Jeff's comments there's also the issue of nested resources, e.g:
```
  form_for([@manufacturer, @product])
```
If you can come up with a compelling use case (other than nicer syntax, which is subjective) then it can be reconsidered.
