Path Parameters of Type Path and Leading Slashes

[rgajason]

Path parameters of type "path" are assigned with a leading slash:

from starlite import Starlite, delete


@delete(path="/{string:path}")
def delete_endpoint(string: str) -> None:
    pass


app = Starlite(route_handlers=[delete_endpoint])

Calling with /foo, string is set to /foo instead of foo. IMO, it should just be foo since the single / is part of the URI itself (the delimiter) and, if leading slash was desired, the endpoint should be called with //foo.

My use case is relative paths and path-like parameters - for example, GitHub branch protection rules which can be path-like patterns (e.g., feature/*). Easy workaround for my use case is just to string.lstrip('/'), but if I was handling a mix of absolute and relative paths with the same endpoint and no other parameters to indicate abs vs rel this could be problematic.

Thoughts?
