We have a similar issue to one from a few years ago https://github.com/elixir-plug/plug/issues/475 where we would like to be able to support a large number of legacy routes. The routes in question have the format of /my_route.app.
We have looked into using the trailing format plug however due to the DSL that we provide it makes it much more difficult for us to use it to proper effect. We have currently gone with a route rewrite approach that avoids the InvalidSpecError and also allows us to support both /my_route and /my_route.app as distinct paths.
Would there be any interest in supporting this in Plug? It may provide a way for others migrating from the Rails like format.
