In my opinion all formatted paths should come before normal ones, which means:
getf/postf/patchesf/putsf/deletef should come before get/post/patches/puts/delete

I believe there are cases where a concrete path would be desired to have precedence.
Say part of your route path is fuzzy, but in certain concrete cases you want it to go to a specific page.

Hypothetical Example:

• products/featured/catalog would go to a defined path returning featured products
• products/%s/catalog could go to user-generated tagging categories

One might want the featured products to go to a special page formatted for display, whereas the application might also support user-generated tags for products, which could show on a default display.

While this could also be done within the handler logic itself (which I think would be better in most cases), there may be other complicating logic which determines the route to be the cleanest spot to separate the branches at.

Just thinking out loud here, but how would that be doable with this new routing?

It works just fine, unless I missed some cases.
Here is an example:
`open Saturn
open Giraffe

let apiRouter = router {
get "/products/featured/catalog" (text "/products/featured/catalog - non-parametrized")
getf "/products/%s/catalog" (sprintf "/products/%s/catalog - parametrized" >> text)
}

let appRouter = router {
forward "/api" apiRouter
}

let app =
application {
disable_diagnostics
use_router appRouter
url "http://0.0.0.0:8085/"
}

run app`

I could not come up with an example in which request may fail.
I'd be happy to see one

No you're right that looks to be the correct behavior.
I should have pulled down the branch and tested myself rather than trying to eyeball the code.
Thanks for providing the test!

I did not get this @0-gravity. Why you make this proposition?

It appears that you want to make generic paths to be evaluated before specific paths. I don't think this is a good idea.
