 If the route segment contains more than **just an optional parameter**, it won't match a path **without the trailing slash**. For example:
 
 - `/users/:uid?-:name?` won't match `/users`, only `/users/-` or even `/users/-/`
-- `/users/:uid(\\d+)?:name? won't match `/users`, only `/users/`, `/users/2`, `/users/2/`, etc
+- `/users/:uid(\\d+)?:name?` won't match `/users`, only `/users/`, `/users/2`, `/users/2/`, etc
