This looks like a useful addition.
I'd also like to chip in with a DRY pattern I've been using in all my
projects which might be worth considering.
To take your example:
def url_tree(regex, *urls):
return url(regex, include(patterns('', *urls)))
urlpatterns = [
> url_tree('articles/',
> url('2003/', views.special_case_2003),
> url_tree('<int:year>/',
> url('', views.year_archive),
> url_tree('<int:month>/',
> url('', views.month_archive),
> url('<int:day>/', views.article_detail),
> ),
> ),
> ),
> ]

So long as the proposal doesn't make the above url_tree pattern impossible
(or harder to do) then I think it's a positive addition. (I have projects
which have very interesting urls patterns)
