> URL rewriting is currently specified with a regular expression. A user-defined function would make this more flexible and has the potential to be much clearer than complex regex patterns. A regex pattern is a degenerate case of the user-specified function.
> One (but not the only) usage case is role-based document selection.
> The role is retrieved from userctx and a startkey/endkey component is appended to the URL to limit the scope of available documents.
