Description
While working on WebOb 2.0 in I came across support that is in webob.request.Request for urlvars and urlargs, this seems to be based upon the wsgiorg.routing_args "standard" and paste.urlvars which is a Paste specific extension.
I am not sure how heavily used these standards are, nor do I know if they have been ported to run on Py3.
I am considering removing them from WebOb, or at least moving them out of the base request into a mixin that a user could opt-in to.

Research direction
Start by inspecting webob.request.Request and its urlvars and urlargs support, then trace the wsgiorg.routing_args and paste.urlvars references. Establish how these integrations are used and whether they work on Python 3; the work is complete only after the project decides between removal and an opt-in mixin and documents or tests that decision.
