Comment:

 URL resolvement is hardcoded into WP. It has been grown since years and
 whenever this was for a change, it has been said it's kept for backwards
 compability.

 So do not expect to change this.

 What you can do instead: Create your own frontend controller:

 - Intercept the HTTP request before it get's passed into WordPress (e.g.
 index.php)[[BR]]
 - Store the orginal request and parse it as needed.[[BR]]
 - Transpose the request into something WP can deal with (e.g. changing
 query variables in $_REQUEST, $_SERVER, $_POST, $_GET etc.)
 - Give your plugins / extensions access to the original request.

 I ''suggest'' to close this as '''wontfix''' because it's highly certain
 that this issue won't get fixed.
