No, I simply don't agree that it implies that. It states "replaces the original
URL-path that was matched by Pattern" - thus, when there is no match, there is
no replacement.

Willing to consider a patch, if you feel that you have a rephrasing that helps
your confusion, but I do not see any cause for confusion here.
