* For the route string "/fixedRoutePart/{varName}[/moreFixed/{varName2:\d+}]", if {varName} is interpreted as
* a placeholder and [...] is interpreted as an optional route part, the expected result is:
*
* [
* // first route: without optional part
* [
* "/fixedRoutePart/",
* ["varName", "[^/]+"],
* ],
* // second route: with optional part
* [
* "/fixedRoutePart/",
* ["varName", "[^/]+"],
* "/moreFixed/",
* ["varName2", [0-9]+"],
* ],

*
* Here one route string was converted into two route data arrays.
*
* @param string $route Route string to parse
*
* @return mixed[][] Array of route data arrays
