Encoding slashes and reverse parsing

[denis-sokolov]

For any route r and a set of parameters obj, I would expect r(r(obj)) to result in obj.
That is, building a url and then parsing it back should give the original set of parameters.
Unfortunately, that is not the case if any parameters contain slashes:

docuri.route('/:key', 'r')
var path = docuri['r']({key:'foo/bar'});
// path is '/foo/bar'
docuri['r'](path)

Observed result: false.
Expected result: {key:'foo/bar'}.

This is because forward slashes are not encoded in any way when building the URL and the information is lost. Fixing this is likely not backwards-compatible, but also important, isn't it?
