764281468,PR_kwDOBm6k_c4tjgJ8,1495,open,0,Allow routes to have extra options,536941,"Right now, datasette routes can only be a 2-tuple of `(regex, view_fn)`. 

If it was possible for datasette to handle extra options, like [standard Django does](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/http/urls/#passing-extra-options-to-view-functions), it would add flexibility for plugin authors.

For example, if extra options were enabled, then it would be easy to make a single table the home page (#1284). This plugin would accomplish it.

```python
from datasette import hookimpl
from datasette.views.table import TableView

@hookimpl
def register_routes(datasette):
        return [
        (r""^/$"", TableView.as_view(datasette), {'db_name': 'DB_NAME',
                                                'table': 'TABLE_NAME'})
    ]
```
