The {pattern} notation represents a segment in a URL which is separated by
slashes. If you want to use multiple segments you should define them
separately, ie /{one}/{two} or use the /path/to/*remainder notation to
catch everything remaining. To generate a URL you can provide a tuple or a
string, i.e.: request.route_url('test', testname='path/to/resource') or
request.route_url('test', testname=('path', 'to', 'resource')). Any value
you pass in your patterns will be url-quoted.
