Function TestRouterAnyMatchesLastAddedAnyRoute

router_test.go:1437–1460

NOTE: this is to document current implementation. Last added route with `*` asterisk is always the match and no backtracking or more precise matching is done to find more suitable match. Current behaviour might not be correct or expected. But this is where we are without well defined requirements/r
