URL with a "dot" will not work if the empty match type regex is used.

Hi,

Very nice work. When using you lib, i found what it seems like a little problem.
I have a dot in my url, and altorouter doesn't seems to find a match (for example if you want to have he version of your api in the url => https://api/1.1/user.json).

i used the empty match type regex for the id :

$router->map('GET','/users/[:id]', 'users#show', 'users_show');

But it looks like the dot is not working because the empty match type regex is : '[^/\.]++' https://github.com/dannyvankooten/AltoRouter/blob/master/AltoRouter.php#L29

This mean the regex will stop at the character "/" or "." the dot is surely used when there is an extension in the uri.
But if you read the documentation :

[:action] // Match anything up to the next / or end of the URI as 'action'

It doesn't say the dot will be used in the matching process.
I think the empty regex should be : '[^/]++' to just stop at the end of the line or at the next slash.

Am i missing something ?

I think this is a documentation error, because it's often useful to match an extension separate from the path/filename.

If you like to change the default behavior, you can do so by overriding the match type

$router->setMatchTypes([
  '' => '[^/]++',
]);

yes probably an error in the documentation, but this should be clarified.
Thank you for the piece of code, i made a router using Altorouter and i have already modified the code the change the regex.

have a good day.
