Finch.js
Powerfully Simple Javascript Routing
Finch.js is a whole new take on handling routes in javascript web apps. It utilizes the natural hierarchy of routes, simplified pattern matching, and powerful parameter dependencies in order to speed up and organize web apps that rely highly on interecting with the browser's url.

TODO List
- Splats - Sometimes we might want an undetermined number of parameters at the end of a url, splats are useful for grabbing any number of url bindings and must be the last binding in the route pattern. Example: "/home/news/:variables..."
- pushState - Add pushstate support ot finsh so that we don't always need to rely on the hash
