Comment (by michael.ecklund):

 I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't just use the built-in
 hierarchical Post Type (`page`) for that.

 Replying to [comment:3 drzraf]:
 > Use-case: we have restaurants and had to ''tweak'' the rewrite (cf OP)
 in order to have provide URL like:
 > {{{
 > /<city>/<slug>
 > }}}
 > rather than the much more cumbersome:
 > {{{
 > /restaurant/<city>/<slug>
 > }}}
 > That best represents the main goal of the website which has no value
 being artificially namespaced.
 >
 > We also have a couple of other CPT of less significance (and none of
 them is named after a city) so that conflict are not going to be an issue
 (or at least a minor issue in comparison to having clean URL)
 >
 > Having an officially-supported way to omit the CPT URL's segment would
 be appreciated.
