Add config option for slashes within route params

[FullStackAlex]

What problem does this feature solve?

It would allow within the Vue app a controlled routing of flexible / unpredictable, nested hierarchical categories e.g.: "post-type/post-category/sub-category/sub-sub-category/post-name"
Currently this is not possible due to encoding of the params by encodeURIComponent within vue-router, which leads to slashes being encoded as %2F.

What does the proposed API look like?

Kind of:

<router-link :to={name: "CustomPost", params:{category: "post-category/sub-category/sub-sub-category", post:"post-name"}, encodeURIcomponent: false}></router-link>

Slashes are separators in routes, so they have to be encoded when used in params. You can directly provide a path or a string version to control the escaping but note you will also have to provide a custom regexp to the param: path: '/:p(.*)'.

I think the best way for your case would be to use a repeated param: '/:p+' and then provide an array of params: { params: { p: ['one', 'two'] }}

Hmm, ok. Thank you for the repeated param idea. I'll try it out.
