In this case, a valid URL might be `/example/3/james`, and both sections will be split out and passed to the view.
The `path` option is special; this is used when you want to capture everything after the slash. For example:
```python
@app.route("/example/<path:rest>")
def example(request, rest):
return HttpResponse(body=f"Example with {rest}")
```
It will come in as a string, but it will include all the slashes and other characters that are in the URL.
