Allow * in paths

[raphael]

In my API I need to define paths with * in them. I haven't seen a way to escape the wildcard character - maybe I missed it?

No, this isn't currently supported. It should be pretty easy to add though. I'll take a look soon or will be glad to take a PR as well.

Awesome! How would you see the escaping being done? \prefix? I can take a stab at it.

Yeah that's my thought. I just had a couple hour plane ride and took advantage of the time to implement it. Will post it up later today :)

Great! looking forward to it.

Ok, so if you put a * or : at the beginning of a path segment, it must be backslash escaped, like so router.GET("\\*asteriskpath", handler). The backslash should not be included if it occurs anywhere else in the path, e.g. router.GET("aaa*bbb", handler) as it only checks at the beginning. I'm not 100% happy with that but it makes the logic much simpler. Hope that helps!
