When deployed by default, the application is dependent on configuration placed in front of it to handle rewrites/redirects. While myWebLog supports this in the form of "previous URLs" for posts and pages, long-running sites may need to redirect URLs that do not resolve to current posts or pages. A container (#38) provides even less of an opportunity to configure these outside the application.

Create a rudimentary redirect function that provides a matching string (either plain-text match or regular expression) and a new URL (verbatim or with capture group replacements for regular expressions). Any matches should be redirected permanently.
