dest files

@doowb how about doing this: https://github.com/assemble/assemble-blog/blob/master/blog.js#L49-L56 with permalinks?

[doowb]

The dest files will use permalinks but what you linked to I plan on using strings and adding that parse method we talked about for it. This was just an attempt at quickly setting up the archive collections for testing.

yeah I figured that.

Seems like permalinks should be used though, so that the same conventions and options are available here as elsewhere. maybe we should go ahead and wrap Strings and generalize this stuff in the actual permalinks lib, and start using that for these use cases with Assemble. I think it would:

• generalize some features related to using Strings for file paths
• offer a consistent API for passing in options and context so that the properties can be used in the resulting strings
• bundle in Strings middlewares that are common to this use case

thoughts?
