Named predefined params

[rodrigok]

Using this code from doc

app.param (name, regexp) ->
    if Object.prototype.toString.call(regexp) == '[object RegExp]'
        return (req, res, next, val) ->
            if captures = regexp.exec(String(val))
                req.params[name] = captures[0]
                next()
            else
                next('route')

I can use named params with regex match, but I can't use this param more than 1 time and generic names make the url a little messy.

I can't do this

app.get '/purchase/:objectId/:objectId', (req, res, next) ->

There are some way to name this params like below?

app.get '/purchase/:(objectId)place/:(objectId)user', (req, res, next) ->
    console.log req.params.place, req.params.user

The capturing and the route syntax is handled by https://github.com/component/path-to-regexp

Please file an issue there. When it gets implemented there, it'll come into express.
