I'm a bit confused by `Locations` - why isn't this just built into `Routing`?

I think it’s likely because ktor is big on being unopinionated.

It seems like a lot of routing functionality is duplicated in Locations - just to allow converting parameters to data classes?

to allow converting parameters into data classes in a very opinionated way, which is why it’s not part of the basic routing

ok, I guess I get that, but seems like maybe this functionality belongs in the DataConversion service? and then it could be used with basic routing...

it's nice convenience, but I also feel like it's probably safer to stick with the official Routing.
