Debugging routes in codeigniter?

Question

I am wondering if there is any simple way of debugging routes in code igniter?

preferably I would like to be able to see in the log along the lines of:

Client sent : apps/something
Route found : apps/(:any) --> applications/searchbyname/$1
Redirecting : apps/something --> applications/searchbyname/something
//and just cause we can lets make the searchbyname function not exist
ERROR - 2012-09-16 22:10:05 --> 404 Page Not Found --> applications/searchbyname/something

Basically it means we can see when we hit a route and where it is trying to load.

Is there any way to enable something along these lines?

Just wrote a small extension of the Router core system class:

It wil debug just the way you described. ( except for the 404, I still need to add that )
