Routes can't do this. You can create some other iterator that "know"
about all valid URL.
Part of the problem is that the internal route format isn't
documented. The bigger problem is that if a route path contains a
variable, a string of any length could be substituted, so the number
of potential URLs is at least 36**N, where N is the maximum URL length
whatever that is. And if you have a /{controller}/{action} route (as
the default Pylons configuration does), then any two-component URL is
valid.
