As I was building a pyramid app the other day, I did come across this actually.
It was part of the reason I was asking about an easier way to sub in a custom
regex for just the path part (rather than having to supply an entire path_info
and build the regex myself). Because then I could at least make my own add-on
that support {syntax} with optional regex provided.

It's sort of clunky, see above. Right now a path_info can be supplied which is
used as the entire regex for the whole path, which isn't very convenient. I'm
going to look at a small patch that supports replacing just individual regex
parts which will prolly make path_info obsolete unless there's some use-case
for both options.

This can also be done externally in a routehelper package, which I'm actually
going to work on some today.
