While compile time should be the preferred option, it still must be
possible to modify routes (and other things) at runtime as well (even if
that requires adding a "dynamic_route" rule at compile time or similar).

The majority of cases will work fine with static routes, but dynamic
ones are sometimes needed too, and can't be ignored.
