XF 1.5 Route filter with content wildcard?

[Mouth]

Looking at the Route Filter functionality ( /admin.php?route-filters/ ), I'm wondering if this can be used with wildcard content ID's? I'm finding its accompanying description confusing, I think;

"The find and replace fields support wildcards in the format of {name}, with a unique name. The same wildcards should be found in both fields. To limit the wildcard to digits, use {name:digit}; to limit to a string, use {name:string}; {name} will match anything but a forward slash."

Therefore, can I have;
Find Route: /xfa-blogs/{name}/
Replace With: /blogs/author/{name}/

.. and have an incoming URL of /xfa-blogs/user.56051/ redirected to /blogs/author/user.56051/

Another example;

Find Route: /xfa-blog-entry/{name}/
Replace With: /blogs/{name}/

.. and have an incoming URL of /xfa-blog-entry/pre-learner-anxiety.331/ redirected to /blogs/pre-learner-anxiety.331/

Yep that should be possible.

I think it's simpler than you think, though.

Find Route: xfa-blogs/
Replace With: blogs/author/

And:

Find Route: xfa-blog-entry/
Replace With: blogs/

Uncheck "Incoming URL conversion only" in both cases.
