+ OSM.Router implements pushState-based navigation for the main page and
+ other pages that use a sidebar+map based layout (export, search results,
+ history, and browse pages).
+
+ For browsers without pushState, it falls back to full page loads, which all
+ of the above pages support.
+
+ The router is initialized with a set of routes: a mapping of URL path templates
+ to route controller objects. Path templates can contain placeholders
+ (`/browse/note/:id`) and optional segments (`/browse/:type/:id(/history)`).
+
+ Route controller objects can define four methods that are called at defined
+ times during routing:
+
+ * The `load` method is called by the router when a path which matches the
+ route's path template is loaded via a normal full page load. It is passed
+ as arguments the URL path plus any matching arguments for placeholders
+ in the path template.
+
+ * The `pushstate` method is called when a page which matches the route's path
+ template is loaded via pushState. It is passed the same arguments as `load`.
+
+ * The `popstate` method is called when returning to a previously
+ pushState-loaded page via popstate (i.e. browser back/forward buttons).
+
+ * The `unload` method is called on the exiting route controller when navigating
+ via pushState or popstate to another route.
+
+ Note that while `load` is not called by the router for pushState-based loads,
+ it's frequently useful for route controllers to call it manually inside their
+ definition of the `pushstate` and `popstate` methods.
+
+ An instance of OSM.Router is assigned to `OSM.router`. To navigate to a new page
+ via pushState (with automatic full-page load fallback), call `OSM.router.route`:
+
+ OSM.router.route('/browse/way/1234');
+
+ If `route` is passed a path that matches one of the path templates, it performs
+ the appropriate actions and returns true. Otherwise it returns false.
+
+ OSM.Router also handles updating the hash portion of the URL containing transient
+ map state such as the position and zoom level. Some route controllers may wish to
+ temporarily suppress updating the hash (for example, to omit the hash on pages
+ such as `/browse/way/1234` unless the map is moved). This can be done by calling
+ `OSM.router.moveListenerOff` and `OSM.router.moveListenerOn`.
