I suspect you probably want to look at the way that `auto_page` is
implemented, although you may need to appropriate and modify it: in D1,
it's render_autopage and _autopage_response in `Dancer::Renderer`, and
in D2, it's in `Dancer2::Handler::AutoPage`.

I can't really think of any other ways to do it off-hand, other than
with a catch-all route, but that would fall over, I suspect, if you
needed a route at `/todomvc/architecture-examples/yui` as well as at
`/todomvc/architecture-examples/yui/index.html`.  A route something like

    get qr{(.*)} => sub {
        my ($path) = splat;
        return redirect $path."/index.html"
            if -e settings('views_dir').$path."/index.html";
        return send_error(404);
    };

-- assuming a setting, `views_dir`, pointing at your views directory;
alternately, `setting('appdir')."/views"` should work, given a fairly
standard setup -- should work.
