Document "auto item"?

[ameotoko]

May be someone could cover (at least briefly) such concept as "auto item" in developer's docs? It feels like it is a common knowledge for core developers, but it doesn't seem to actually be documented anywhere...

I think I'll add this to the new Routing section of the dev docs, where I can explain the "Legacy Routing" in more detail. Not just the auto_item is relevant there, but also how Contao automatically transforms a path to key => value pairs as pseudo query parameters.

I am sincerely looking forward to have this documentation😊

I can easily build a Symfony controller when needed, but sometimes one just need to use them "URL fragments" in Contao context)) for example in a classic List/Reader module pattern, or when your module acts something like Isotope's Checkout module with it's checkout steps. It would really help to have some best practices outlined.

@ameotoko is there anything in particular you'd like to know? That would help in figuring out what exactly we should document ;)
