Would a feature of route model collection binding be useful?

[yob-yob]

imagine this...

// web.php
Route::get("/articles/{articles:category}", [ArticleCategoryController::class, index])

// ArticleCategoryController.php

public function index(ArticleCollection $articles) {
    // $articles is a collection of articles that has a category specified on the route
}

More examples...

// web.php
Route::get("/users/{users:role}/{user}", [UsersController::class, index])

// UsersController.php

public function index(UserCollection $users, User $user) {
    // $users is a collection of user that has a role specified on the route,
    // while....
    // $user is a single-model user that is found on $users
}

Specs...

1. You must provide a column to filter out...
2. A custom ModelCollection should be present...

It depends on how the data is stored but if you have a category model this is sufficient I guess:

Route::get('/articles/{category}', [ ArticleCategoryController::class, 'index' ]);

public function index (Category $category) {
    $category->articles
}
