Describe the bug

What I am trying to achieve is the following:

• have a default set of nested endpoints with dynamic parameters;
• override specific paths to handle the request differently;
• preserve untouched nested routes.

The use case is to create a simple CRUD API for each table of a database, e.g.:

• GET /api/foo -> /api/[table]/index.get.ts
• POST /api/foo -> /api/[table]/index.post.ts
• GET /api/foo/1 -> /api/[table]/[id].get.ts
• PATCH /api/foo/1 -> /api/[table]/[id].patch.ts
• DELETE /api/foo/1 -> /api/[table]/[id].delete.ts

while preserving the ability to override a specific endpoint for a table that requires specific handling, e.g.:

• GET /api/bar -> /api/bar/index.get.ts

In doing so, I would expect PATCH /api/bar/1 to still work but it seems that Nitro will discard any /api/bar/* endpoints after creating that file.

Hi. sadly this is a limitation of route matcher algorithm in nitro v2 (radix3). in nitro v3, we use new implementation (rou3) which should handle this well. i will try to test it in a local app but you can also directly test nitro v3 via nightly channel.
