/**
 * Matches URLs against patterns.
 *
 * Matches URLs against patterns and extracts named parameters from the path or the search
 * part of the URL.
 *
 * A URL pattern consists of a path pattern, optionally followed by '?' and a list of search (query)
 * parameters. Multiple search parameter names are separated by '&'. Search parameters
 * do not influence whether or not a URL is matched, but their values are passed through into
 * the matched parameters returned by [[UrlMatcher.exec]].
 *
 * - *Path parameters* are defined using curly brace placeholders (`/somepath/{param}`)
 * or colon placeholders (`/somePath/:param`).
 *
 * - *A parameter RegExp* may be defined for a param after a colon
 * (`/somePath/{param:[a-zA-Z0-9]+}`) in a curly brace placeholder.
 * The regexp must match for the url to be matched.
 * Should the regexp itself contain curly braces, they must be in matched pairs or escaped with a backslash.
 *
 * Note: a RegExp parameter will encode its value using either [[ParamTypes.path]] or [[ParamTypes.query]].
 *
 * - *Custom parameter types* may also be specified after a colon (`/somePath/{param:int}`) in curly brace parameters.
 *   See [[UrlMatcherFactory.type]] for more information.
 *
 * - *Catch-all parameters* are defined using an asterisk placeholder (`/somepath/*catchallparam`).
 *   A catch-all * parameter value will contain the remainder of the URL.
 *
 * ---
 *
 * Parameter names may contain only word characters (latin letters, digits, and underscore) and
 * must be unique within the pattern (across both path and search parameters).
 * A path parameter matches any number of characters other than '/'. For catch-all
 * placeholders the path parameter matches any number of characters.
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 * * `'/hello/'` - Matches only if the path is exactly '/hello/'. There is no special treatment for
 *   trailing slashes, and patterns have to match the entire path, not just a prefix.
 * * `'/user/:id'` - Matches '/user/bob' or '/user/1234!!!' or even '/user/' but not '/user' or
 *   '/user/bob/details'. The second path segment will be captured as the parameter 'id'.
 * * `'/user/{id}'` - Same as the previous example, but using curly brace syntax.
 * * `'/user/{id:[^/]*}'` - Same as the previous example.
 * * `'/user/{id:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,8}}'` - Similar to the previous example, but only matches if the id
 *   parameter consists of 1 to 8 hex digits.
 * * `'/files/{path:.*}'` - Matches any URL starting with '/files/' and captures the rest of the
 *   path into the parameter 'path'.
 * * `'/files/*path'` - ditto.
 * * `'/calendar/{start:date}'` - Matches "/calendar/2014-11-12" (because the pattern defined
 *   in the built-in  `date` ParamType matches `2014-11-12`) and provides a Date object in $stateParams.start
