Not at all. app level routes would be feasible and easy to implement.
I just did not have the time. The issue is not implementing as much as
designing the syntax.
Should the main routes delegate? Should it be explicit? Should it be
implicit? (I think implicit)
That we have the issue of setting cache. It is a different one but
related.
Should we bring this delegation one step further and have each static
folder/subfolder have its own routes_cache?
Why only static files?
Should we have a routes.py and app level routes.py have a routes_cache]
[...] that specifies the cache params for each path using the same
syntax as routes_in? (I think do)
These is all easy to do and I can do it next week. I just do not want
to rush an implementation without hearing a few more opinions.
