> This is about the rewriter. The current 1.1.x code base contains code to
> support a new way of defining variables, it's in angle brackets, like <var>.
> This makes it possible to match things like /foo/<var>.txt which isn't
> possible with the :var syntax as you don't know where the variable name ends.
> Although this is an improvement, the rewriter is still very limited. As
> adding additional features should happen, but the 1.1 release shouldn't
> delayed any further, I propose to remove this functionality, in order to be
> able to design a better rewriter, without supporting the legacy <var>
> notation.
