See the _traverse_url function in quixote.publish for the logic.
(Part of the reason for Quixote being small is so that you can read
the code to figure out what's going on.)  _q_index is appended to the
path if there's a trailing '/', and then the path is traversed looking
for something that's either a string or a callable.
