wow! this is awesome. Of course, it doesn't work for me as is, as all routes with params (essentially, all routes with `.:format` are ignored). But, it definitely is a great starting point.

Looking at the source, it calls

	for my $app ( Dancer::App->applications ) {
        	my $routes = $app->{registry}->{routes};

This `Dancer::App->applications` array and the routes registry, obviously these are not publicly available methods, so it seems I have to delve into the innards of Dancer to modify/adapt these, no?
