  module RodaPlugins
    # The backtracking_array plugin changes the handling of array
    # matchers such that if one of the array entries matches, but
    # a later match argument fails, it will backtrack and try the
    # next entry in the array.  For example, the following match
    # block does not match +/a/b+ by default:
    #
    #   r.is ['a', 'a/b'] do |path|
    #     # ...
    #   end
    #
    # This is because the <tt>'a'</tt> entry in the array matches, which
    # makes the array match.  However, the next matcher is the
    # terminal matcher (since +r.is+ was used), and since the
    # path is not terminal as it still contains +/b+ after
    # matching <tt>'a'</tt>.
    #
    # With the backtracking_array plugin, when the terminal matcher
    # fails, matching will go on to the next entry in the array,
    # <tt>'a/b'</tt>, which will also match.  Since <tt>'a/b'</tt>
    # matches the path fully, the terminal matcher also matches,
    # and the match block yields.
