wildcard segment ':slug' conflicts with existing children in path '/:slug'

[toby3d]

Same as buaazp/fasthttprouter#49.

I want use / path for render index page and /:slug for render specific content by it's :slug. I am aware about the hack through router.NotFound, but, firstly, this is not most obvious way, and secondly, it requires additional validations for the correct transitions between the necessary pages.

Example

func main() {
    ...

    r := router.New()
    handler.RegisterAPI(r.Group("/api")) // api
    handler.RegisterTemplates(r) // renders
}

func (h *MyHandlers) RegisterTemplates(g *router.Router) {
    g.GET("/", h.RenderIndex)
    g.GET("/:slug", h.RenderSlug)
}

func (h *MyHandlers) RegisterAPI(g *router.Router) {
    g.GET("/", h.ShowAll)
    g.GET("/:slug", h.ShowOne)
}

Hi @toby3d,

Which values could have the :slug parameter?

[toby3d]

Any alphanum combinations and '-', like: 'hello-world', 'answer42', '300-is-not-200' and so on.

In general, I expect that any parameter in the root (/:slug, /:page/raw, /:player/vs/:enemy and etc.) will work same as any other parameters in any other routes (/user/:user, /hello/:first/:last).

I'm researching about the issue. When I have something, I will tell here.

I'm working for make the router more flexible, but i will take a few more days.
