Please add a kwarg to the Route object which makes trailing slash optional

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See attached file.

It'd be great to be able to pass a kwarg to the Route object which makes 
trailing slashes optional.  I know you can do this with a redirect, but that is 
an extra request and not strictly required.  It'd be great if you could add 
something like in my example so it fulfils the request but makes the slash 
optional.

Thanks,

Rob

You can use 
RedirectRoute(https://webapp-improved.appspot.com/_modules/webapp2_extras/routes
.html#RedirectRoute)

using attribute strict_slash will enforce always a trailing slash in each route.

RedirectRoute requires a redirect which is costly.  There is no need for a 
browser redirect in this case as webapp2 could just return the content.

I can see how the recirect could be useful in certain circumstances through so 
I don't advise changing the current functionality.  I actually added this 
functionality myself by subclassing Route.

That's True.. How do you actually subclass Route? I mean how do you add this 
functionality?
