I'm comfortable being added to this list of "those who agree."  There is a rather tiny sliver of subjectivity here, many of us have made some effort to characterize it, but yes, it is a "real route" that is captured in OSM by a type=route relation.  "Several ways laid end to end with the same name" are similar, but not quite the same, and something I believe OSM wants to keep distinct as "not really a route relation."  It seems many mappers also agree, as these distinctions are made frequently in our map.
