Accepts a "route path" (a string defining a route), and returns the array of segments that corresponds to it. Note that the segment array is only partially initialized—the defaults and requirements, for instance, need to be set separately, via the #assign_route_options method, and the #optional? method for each segment will not be reliable until after #assign_route_options is called, as well.

  rest, segments = path, []

  until rest.empty?
    segment, rest = segment_for rest
