DRY up rewrite rule matching

[scribu]

Currently, the whole rewrite matching loop is duplicated: once in WP::parse_request() and once in url_to_postid().

Re-posting the patch from #16687 for consideration.

Hi Scribu,

kind of lost with the following. Just added myself to 3 trac tickets, which might be addressing this issue, but I am not sure:

I am looking for the possibility to have a permalink of the following:

%role%/%author%/%posttype%/%postname%

Basically adding %role% and %posttype% as structure tags. Is that at all possible?
Many thanks for any hints,
Sascha

Please stop spamming trac with your question!
