Different key maybe?

I wonder if it would be - in light of where the router class goes in 3.x - better to use some underscored key like _route for it:

echo $this->Html->link('About us', array('_route' => 'about'));

Similar to _full, _ext, ... ( http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/appendices/3-0-migration-guide.html#router ).
At least for a 3.0 branch this will sure be useful then.

That is a good idea... This plugin actually precedes cake 3, so that's why it doesn't really work like the new cake 3 router... Maybe this project goal could be to bring maximum compability between cake 2 a 3 and close the gap?

Sure, why not. But that is up to you.
Just wanted to point it out :)
