"""associate url's path to view identifier / rql queries

It currently handle url's path with the forms

* <publishing_method>

* minimal REST publishing:
  * <eid>
  * <etype>[/<attribute name>/<attribute value>]*

* folder navigation


You can actually control URL (more exactly path) resolution using URL path
evaluator.

XXX actionpath and folderpath execute a query whose results is lost
because of redirecting instead of direct traversal
