Description

Context: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/18571

When creating routes/test/[...path].ts, it will only match /test/** but not /test. This is because route matching is running in strict mode and makes a different between these two.

A workaround would be creating routes/test/index.ts with export { default } from './[...path']

I think as an enhancement for DX, we should have a default behavior for doing this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how routes/test/[...path].ts is translated into route matching, then compare it with the routes/test/index.ts workaround and the linked Nuxt issue. Done means a wildcard route also handles /test by default while retaining its existing /test/** behavior.
