I actually commented on the gist, here's a copy for the ML:

Looks very useful for me. I've not heard of imbrication until today, I
assume it is closest to nested optional components as used above.

Having regex capability in the constraints would be great:

{"/cars/:name/:color", [{color, in, [blue, red, pink]}], Handler,
Opts} might be {"/cars/:name/:color", [{color, regex, "^(blue | red |
pink)$", [other_re_parameters]) , Handler, Opts} for example.

Yes, regex will be a possible constraint. Also checking for integer
value. Not sure what else we'll want.

A+
