Hi, I found a surprising (to me) edge case regarding routes with empty path components:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/go-chi/chi"
)

func empty(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {}

func main() {
	r := chi.NewRouter()
	r.Get(`/{:[a-z]+}/`, empty)
	ctx := chi.NewRouteContext()
	if r.Match(ctx, "GET", "//") {
		fmt.Println("The route matched the URL.")
	}
}

This prints The route matched the URL. even though there was clearly no match for the regular expression. My understanding of the semantics of a regex filter is that the route will match if and only if the regex filter matches the path component, but that's not what seems to be happening here.

I'd be curious if this is behaving as it should, and if so, if there's a good alternative to filtering out empty path components, since requirning a match on .+ doesn't work.

Thank you!

func main() {
	r := chi.NewRouter()
	r.Get(`/{:[a-z]+}`, empty)
	ctx := chi.NewRouteContext()
	if r.Match(ctx, "GET", "/") {
		fmt.Println("The route matched the URL.")
	}
