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

CubicWeb finds all registered URLPathEvaluators, orders them according
to their ``priority`` attribute and calls their ``evaluate_path()``
method. The first that returns something and doesn't raise a
``PathDontMatch`` exception wins.

Here is the default evaluator chain:

1. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.RawPathEvaluator` handles
   unique url segments that match exactly one of the registered
   controller's *__regid__*. Urls such as */view?*, */edit?*, */json?*
   fall in that category;

2. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.EidPathEvaluator` handles
   unique url segments that are eids (e.g. */1234*);

3. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.URLRewriteEvaluator`
   selects all urlrewriter components, sorts them according to their
   priorty, call their ``rewrite()`` method, the first one that
   doesn't raise a ``KeyError`` wins. This is where the
   :mod:`cubicweb.web.views.urlrewrite` and
   :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlrewrite.SimpleReqRewriter` comes into
   play;

4. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.RestPathEvaluator` handles
   urls based on entity types and attributes : <etype>((/<attribute
   name>])?/<attribute value>)?  This is why ``cwuser/carlos`` works;

5. :class:`cubicweb.web.views.urlpublishing.ActionPathEvaluator`
   handles any of the previous paths with an additional trailing
   "/<action>" segment, <action> being one of the registered actions'
   __regid__.


.. note::

 Actionpath executes a query whose results is lost
 because of redirecting instead of direct traversal.
