/**
 * Redirect to the given `url` with optional response `status`
 * defauling to 302.
 *
 * The given `url` can also be the name of a mapped url, for
 * example by default express supports "back" which redirects
 * to the _Referrer_ or _Referer_ headers or the application's
 * "home" setting. Express also supports "home" out of the box,
 * which can be set via `app.set('home', '/blog');`, and defaults
 * to '/'.
 *
 * Redirect Mapping:
 * 
 *  To extend the redirect mapping capabilities that Express provides,
 *  we may use the `app.redirect()` method:
 * 
 *     app.redirect('google', 'http://google.com');
 * 
 *  Now in a route we may call:
 *
 *     res.redirect('google');
 *
 *  We may also map dynamic redirects:
 *
 *      app.redirect('comments', function(req, res){
 *          return '/post/' + req.params.id + '/comments';
 *      });
 *
 *  So now we may do the following, and the redirect will dynamically adjust to
 *  the context of the request. If we called this route with _GET /post/12_ our
 *  redirect _Location_ would be _/post/12/comments_.
 *
 *      app.get('/post/:id', function(req, res){
 *        res.redirect('comments');
 *      });
 *
 *  Unless an absolute `url` is given, the app's mount-point
 *  will be respected. For example if we redirect to `/posts`,
 *  and our app is mounted at `/blog` we will redirect to `/blog/posts`.
 *
 * @param {String} url
 * @param {Number} code
