There is one logical problem with the parameteric router (as opposed to the
regex routes) and that is how it handles missing
applicaiton/controller/function. If one is missing, it assumes a default
value specified by the routes.py configuration. In this process it must
make some assumptions about what is missing.
For example /index is probably /{defaultapp}/{defaultcontroller}/index but
what if there is a controller called index? or an app called index? what if
"index" is instead and args[0]?
So as long there are no possible naming conflict everything is fine but if
a naming conflict arises, it does not do what you expect.
This is unfixable without breaking people's app using the router. We may
break backward compatibility and simplify it one of the next versions.
