Something along the lines of reloadOnPathParams in ngRoute

[alethea]

It would be nice to have an option on a route to only reload the view when path params change, much like reloadOnSearch only reloads the view when $location.search() changes.

E.g.: If route /foo/:id has reloadOnPathParams = false set, then moving from /foo/id1 to /foo/id2 would only broadcast a $routeUpdate event, and not reload the view and re-instanciate the controller.
