routing: Fix bugs with matching URLs with correct route but missing metadata. When matching a route like `/foo/%slug%` against an URL like `/foo`, the route will (correctly) return a match, but it will be completely missing the `slug` metadata, resulting in problems elsewhere. This change makes it so that any missing route metadata will be filled in with an empty string. And because this means generated URLs may differ from the incoming URL when using trailing slashes (`/foo/` _vs._ `/foo`), we make the assert in the chef server handle those discrepancies.

with text files. No complex setup, databases, or administrative panels.
Simple, beautiful, and yummy.

Quickstart
==========

If you want to quickly give it a spin:

::

    pip install piecrust
    chef init mywebsite
    cd mywebsite
    chef serve

It should create a new empty site in a ``mywebsite`` folder, and start a small
web server to preview it. You can then point your browser to ``localhost:8080``
to see the default home page.

Use ``chef prepare page`` and ``chef prepare post`` to create pages and posts,
and edit those in your favorite text editor.

When you're happy, run ``chef bake`` to generate the final static website,
which you'll find in ``_counter``. At this point you can upload the contents of
``_counter`` to your server.
