Ted Ross commented on DISPATCH-286:
-----------------------------------
This is not so much a pattern-matching problem as it is a searching problem.
We want to do an efficient search on an address such that the most specific
matching prefix is returned. In this case, prefix is defined by segments
delimited by delimiters. Currently the only delimiter is '.' but there's call
for allowing '/' as well.
The use of delimiters is simply an optimization. If we didn't use them, we
could search every prefix character-by-character. But this would be quite a
bit slower.
I don't think it is too steep of a slippery slope to add a delimiter character.
Doing a full regex-search is a huge change and will have significant
performance implications that we don't want to deal with.

> possibly backslash) as well.
