Rack::URLMap is the canonical example.

You (and Ryan and Christian) are right of course. It really has to be
one thing or the other.

Aside: since this is Ruby we're talking about, we're not limited to
just strings. For example, PATH_INFO could be defined to be an array
of path components. Probably doesn't make life easier for anyone
though, compared with just having the original path available.
