Description
Create ActionConfigs for Action class methods that do not already have aliases
The initial "dynamic method invocation" implementation does not create an ActionConfig, but scans for a "!" and invokes the method directly. The implementation doesn't allow these alias methods to be browsed, overrridden with static actions, nor can they have their own validators, type convertors or resources.
Rather than scan for dynamic method references at run time, an alternate approach would be to scan the configuration when it is first loaded and create ActionConfigs for all potential alias methods.
