Description

I'm thinking of a coercion feature similar to TypedChoiceField. The dict could contain the coercions. So if I have a route w/ a parameter X, the dictionary could be:
{'coerce': {'x': int}}

I don't see the necessity.

Coerce it in your view, or if it's a common case, use a decorator to do the coercion (you can even use this decorator directly in the url conf).

Seems to me the whole point of routes is to express URL syntax. So far I've written 3 regex's over & over: string, sha1, int. Wouldn't it be nice to declare the type instead of the regex? No regex to repeat and coercion. Thx for considering it.
