Previously, a route like "/:a.png" would match "/foo/bar/baz.png".
This was incorrect, as all matches should be restricted to path segments
(or smaller, as dictated by a break character).
This bug was introduced in 1a390aba1c.
Fixes#75.
This is a breaking API change that changes how wildcard patterns are
treated. In particular, wildcards are no longer allowed to appear at
arbitrary places in the URL, and are only allowed to appear immediately
after a path separator. This change effectively changes the wildcard
sigil from "*" to "/*".
Users who use wildcard routes like "/hello*" will have to switch to
regular expression based routes to preserve the old semantics.
The motivation for this change is that it allows the router to publish a
special "tail" key which represents the unmatched portion of the URL.
This is placed into URLParams under the key "*", and includes a leading
"/" to make it easier to write sub-routers.
This allows you to match "/a/cat.gif" with patterns like "/a/:b.:c".
Thanks to @Minecrell for an early patch implementing this functionality.
