Descrizione
Right now the number of variables per path in path_match_policy.path_template is limited to 5:

I don't see a particular reason other than routing performance for this artificial limit. It is also not documented anywhere, just like the variable name limit of 16 characters.
What I do see is this somewhat low limit easily becoming a breaking factor in more complex setups such as the one I am working on right now.
Can this limit be increased and documented please? Without having any data other than my own use case, my guess is 10 would be a more realistic upper bound that would cover most if not all "realistic" use cases of others as well.
Alternatively, is there another feature that I could use to rewrite paths with variables that is better suited for a high number of variables that I am not aware of?
