   * should only concern you if you are not using [Muuntaja](https://github.com/metosin/muuntaja).
 * the `r/routes` returns just the path + data tuples as documented, not the compiled route results. To get the compiled results, use `r/compiled-routes` instead.
 * welcome route name conflict resolution! If router has routes with same names, router can't be created. fix 'em.
+* sequential child routes are allowed, enabling this:
