-``match_val``
-
-  The ``match_val`` value represents the presence of a value in the
-  :term:`URL dispatch` structure added to the request named
-  ``matchdict``.  ``matchdict`` represents 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``).  If
-  the value does not contain a colon, the entire value will be
-  considered to be the name of a matchdict key (e.g. ``action``). If
-  the value does contain a ``:`` (colon), it will be considered a
-  name/value pair (e.g. ``action:generate.html`` or
-  ``action:\w+.html``).  The right hand side following the colon
-  should be a regular expression.
-
-  If the value does not contain a colon, the key specified by the name
-  must be present in the URL dispatch matchdict for this predicate to
-  be true; the value of the key is ignored.  If the value does contain
-  a colon, the name implied by the right hand must be present in the
-  matchdict *and* the regular expression specified on the right hand
-  side of the colon must match the value for the name in the matchdict
-  for this predicate to be true.

 ``custom_predicates``
   This value should be a sequence of references to custom predicate
