Features

--------

- New view predicate: match_val.  The ``match_val`` value represents
  the presence of a value in the structure added to the request named
  ``matchdict`` during URL dispatch representing the match values from
  the route pattern (e.g. if the route pattern has ``:foo`` in it, and
  the route matches, a key will exist in the matchdict named ``foo``).
  Like all other view predicates, this feature is exposed via the
  ``bfg_view`` API, the Configurator ``add_view`` API, and the ZCML
  ``view`` directive.

Documentation
-------------

- API documentation for the ``add_view`` method of the configurator
  changed to include ``match_val``.

- ZCML documentation for ``view`` ZCML directive changed to include
  ``match_val``.

- The ``Views`` narrative chapter now contains a description of the
  ``match_val`` predicate.

Bug Fixes
---------

- The ``header`` predicate (when used as either a view predicate or a
  route predicate) had a problem when specified with a name/regex
  pair.  When the header did not exist in the headers dictionary, the
  regex match could be fed ``None``, causing it to throw a
  ``TypeError: expected string or buffer`` exception.  Now, the
  predicate returns False as intended.

Internal
--------

- Remove ``repoze.bfg.configuration.isclass`` function in favor of
  using ``inspect.isclass``.
