Integer Placeholder Notation

[everclear]

Hi,

Has any thought been given to a placeholder notation that only permits an integer value? I would see this a useful addition. In a lot of cases you will know upfront that you need an int, so it would be good to 404 the request early.

I have written a splitParamInt function that could be used when matching..

for len(remaining) > i && remaining[i] != '/' && (remaining[i] == '0' || remaining[i] == '1' ||..

Doesn't look very pretty, but I imagine it's as quick as you are going to get.

Just putting it out there for discussion. Is it worth while? What should the prefix be? Happy to put in a pull request it's got merit.

I would love to see this - not sure what the best syntax is, though. Too bad # is already spoken for.
