Enhanced route syntax about ui-router

[gregwebs]

rather than type definitions, we can allow arbitrary parsers. Instead of 'foo/:int' we can have ['foo', parseInt]. This unloads a bunch of work from our shoulders, and a DSL that uses :int can always be added on top in the future.

@gregwebs I don't quite know how @xealot implemented Improved Angular routing in a backwards compatible way but as I understand werkzeug routing, that is actually what it provides.

e.g. <path:bar> refers to a parser named path.

Someone noted that they didn't like the syntax, ofc. I wouldn't mind a more familiar syntax. But further than that I have no for or against the syntax as it would only be founded in what I was use to and not objectivity.

Closing because we are moving forward with @ksperling implementation, if you need to bring any issues from this discussion over to the new implementation please make a new issue. This thread seems to have some interesting ideas...
