Extension to Rails to allow simple workflow browser navigation using detours with returns.

• switch your "link_to" lines to "detour_to" and your controller "redirect_to" to "back_or_redirect_to" to allow users to return from whence they came.

In views:

detour_to controller: :my_models, action: :create
back_or_link_to controller: :welcome, action: :index
image_button_to controller: :my_models, action: :create

link_to 'Link with custom origin', with_detour(destination, origin)

In controllers:

back_or_redirect_to controller: :my_models, action: :index

In your tests:

def test_valid_login_redirects_as_specified
  add_stored_detour "/bogus/location"
  post :login, user: { login: "tesla", password: "atest" }
  assert_logged_in users(:tesla)
  assert_response :redirect
  assert_redirected_to "http://#{request.host}/bogus/location"
end

• Ruby 2.2 or newer. JRuby supported!
• Rails 4.2 or newer.
