Hmm, that's a good thought. I'm looking at the overall handling of URL parsing
and routing, and hadn't been thinking about this.
So what I'm thinking now is that the global routing would be only the mapping
of URL to application, and then app-level routing would take over (you have to
resolve the app in order to invoke app-level anything, of course).
Good. Need to think about that.
