optional extra route?

[yairEO]

var route = routeMatcher("user/:a/:b");
route.parse('user');          // should work
route.parse('user/foo');      // should work (currently doesn't)
route.parse('user/foo/');     // should work
route.parse('user/foo/bar');  // should work
route.parse('user/foo/bar/'); // should work (currently doesn't)

Is that a reasonable thing to do/ask?

Can you provide an example where optional routes are logical? Normally, you have one route per view, say.

Why does't the last one matches anyway? sometimes the user will put a trailing / and sometimes not, and it should result in an identical route match, no?
