"""Associate url's path to view identifier / rql queries.

It currently handles url 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 an
URL path evaluator.

.. note::

 Actionpath and Folderpath execute a query whose results is lost
 because of redirecting instead of direct traversal.

    argument.  It will either return a publishing method identifier

    `priority` attribute, with 0 as the greatest priority and greater
    values as lower priority. The first evaluator returning a result
    or raising something else than `PathDontMatch` will stop the
    handlers chain.
