Right, it's only looked at in the regex logic. No good reason not to support it in the parametric router. I suppose I was thinking that it shouldn't be necessary, but perhaps it's useful enough to handle it there too. One more thing: when args parsing is liberalized, it's entirely possible that validation needs to be done controller by controller, since the semantics of args might well be controller-dependent.
