Description

When Tapestry converts a class name into a page name, component type or mixin name, it could be a little smarter: when the package name is either the prefix or the suffix of the simple class name, it should be stripped off.

Example: org.example.myapp.pages.book.EditBook --> book/edit (not book/editbook). Likewise, org.example.myapp.pages.book.BookIndex --> book/index.

This does open up a little possibility for name collisions (what if class Index and class BookIndex are in the book package?).

The alternative is to have many different classes with the same simple name (List, Edit, Index, etc.) in different packages, which is much harder to maintain.
