     * Defines the initial state, path, or behavior to use when the app starts.
     *
     * This rule defines the initial/starting state for the application.
     *
     * This rule is triggered the first time the URL is checked (when the app initially loads).
     * The rule is triggered only when the url matches either `""` or `"/"`.
     *
     * Note: The rule is intended to be used when the root of the application is directly linked to.
     * When the URL is *not* `""` or `"/"` and doesn't match other rules, the [[otherwise]] rule is triggered.
     * This allows 404-like behavior when an unknown URL is deep-linked.
     *
     * #### Example:
     * Start app at `home` state.
     * ```js
     * .initial({ state: 'home' });
     * ```
     *
     * #### Example:
     * Start app at `/home` (by url)
     * ```js
     * .initial('/home');
     * ```
     *
     * #### Example:
     * When no other url rule matches, go to `home` state
     * ```js
     * .initial((matchValue, url, router) => {
     *   console.log('initial state');

     *
     * This rule is matched when *no other rule* matches.
     * It is generally used to handle unknown URLs (similar to "404" behavior, but on the client side).
     *
     * - If `handler` a string, it is treated as a url redirect
     *
     * #### Example:
     * When no other url rule matches, redirect to `/index`
     * ```js
     * .otherwise('/index');
     * ```
     *
     * - If `handler` is an object with a `state` property, the state is activated.
     *
     * #### Example:
     * When no other url rule matches, redirect to `home` and provide a `dashboard` parameter value.
     * ```js
     * .otherwise({ state: 'home', params: { dashboard: 'default' } });

     *
     * - If `handler` is a function, the function receives the current url ([[UrlParts]]) and the [[UIRouter]] object.
     *   The function can perform actions, and/or return a value.
     *
     * #### Example:
     * When no other url rule matches, manually trigger a transition to the `home` state
     * ```js
     * .otherwise((matchValue, urlParts, router) => {
     *   router.stateService.go('home');

     * Url rules may come from multiple sources: states's urls ([[StateDeclaration.url]]), [[when]], and [[rule]].

     * The `$id` is is the order in which the rule was registered.
     *
     * The sort function should use these data, or data found on a specific type
     * of [[UrlRule]] (such as [[StateRule.state]]), to order the rules as desired.
     *
     * #### Example:
     * This compare function prioritizes rules by the order in which the rules were registered.
     * A rule registered earlier has higher priority.
     *
     * ```js
     * function compareFn(a, b) {
     *   return a.$id - b.$id;
     * }
     * ```
     *
     * @param compareFn a function that compares to [[UrlRule]] objects.
     *    The `compareFn` should abide by the `Array.sort` compare function rules.
     *    Given two rules, `a` and `b`, return a negative number if `a` should be higher priority.
     *    Return a positive number if `b` should be higher priority.
     *    Return `0` if the rules are identical.

     * Registers a `matcher` and `handler` for custom URLs handling.
     *
     * The `matcher` can be:
     *
     * - a [[UrlMatcher]]: See: [[UrlMatcherFactory.compile]]
     * - a `string`: The string is compiled to a [[UrlMatcher]]
     * - a `RegExp`: The regexp is used to match the url.

     * ---
     *
     * When the `handler` is a `string` and the `matcher` is a `UrlMatcher` (or string), the redirect
     * string is interpolated with parameter values.

     * #### Example:
     * When the URL is `/foo/123` the rule will redirect to `/bar/123`.
     * ```js
     * .when("/foo/:param1", "/bar/:param1")
     * ```
     *
     * ---
     *
     * When the `handler` is a string and the `matcher` is a `RegExp`, the redirect string is
     * interpolated with capture groups from the RegExp.
     *
     * #### Example:
     * When the URL is `/foo/123` the rule will redirect to `/bar/123`.
     * ```js
     * .when(new RegExp("^/foo/(.*)$"), "/bar/$1");
     * ```
     *
     * ---
     *
     * When the handler is a function, it receives the matched value, the current URL, and the `UIRouter` object (See [[UrlRuleHandlerFn]]).
     * The "matched value" differs based on the `matcher`.
     * For [[UrlMatcher]]s, it will be the matched state params.
     * For `RegExp`, it will be the match array from `regexp.exec()`.
     *
     * If the handler returns a string, the URL is redirected to the string.
     *
     * #### Example:
     * When the URL is `/foo/123` the rule will redirect to `/bar/123`.
     * ```js
     * .when(new RegExp("^/foo/(.*)$"), match => "/bar/" + match[1]);

     * Note: the `handler` may also invoke arbitrary code, such as `$state.go()`
