/**
 * Sling breaks the request URI into four parts: the path itself, optional
 * dot-separated selectors and extension that follow it, and an optional path
 * suffix.
 * 
    
 * Decomposition of a Request URL
 * 
      
 * 
    1. {@link #getResourcePath() content path} - The longest substring of the request
 * URI resolving to a {@link org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource} object such
 * that the content path is either the complete request URI or the next
 * character in the request URI after the content path is either a dot (.)
 * or a slash (/).
 * 
    2. {@link #getSelectors() selectors} - If the first character in the
 * request URI after the content path is a dot, the string after the dot upto
 * but not including the last dot before the next slash character or the end of
 * the request URI. If the content path spans the complete request URI or if a
 * slash follows the content path in the request, then no selectors exist. If
 * only one dot follows the content path before the end of the request URI or
 * the next slash, no selectors exist. The selectors are available as
 * {@link #getSelectorString() a single string} and as an
 * {@link #getSelectors() array of strings}, which is the selector string
 * splitted on dots.
 * 
    3. {@link #getExtension() extension} - The string after the last dot after
 * the content path in the request uri but before the end of the request uri or
 * the next slash after the content path in the request uri. If the content path
 * spans the complete request URI or a slash follows the content path in the
 * request URI, the extension is empty.
 * 
    4. {@link #getSuffix() suffix path} - If the request URI contains a slash
 * character after the content path and optional selectors and extension, the
 * path starting with the slash up to the end of the request URI is the suffix
 * path.
 *
