Feature Request: responds_to :datatable

I saw a nice code at comments on 370 RailsCast episode, author Mark Allen.

#initializers/mime_types.rb
Mime::Type.register_alias "text/json", :datatable

# products_controller.rb
respond_to do |format|
  format.html
  format.json       { render json: @products }
  format.datatable  { render json: ProductsDatatable.new(view_context) }
end

# views/products/index.html.erb
data-source="<%= products_url(format: "datatable") %>"
