only reason i can think of is because the "/" url has always been
considered to be in the filesystem, and so you have to run directory_walk
to get any access control/auth which has been set on or above the docroot.
i'm not saying this is a good design.
the best design i can think of is to virtualise the entire urlspace and
use "mount points" to mount subtree handlers.
oh and get rid of all the wildcard and regex crap. it's a waste of cycles
