+/**
+ * Creates a matcher function from a given route definition.
+ *
+ * This utility supports both static path-based route definitions (e.g. `/users/:id`)
+ * and custom matcher functions for dynamic routing scenarios.
+ *
+ * ### Static Path Example
+ * For a definition like:
+ * ```ts
+ * { method: "GET", path: "/users/:id" }
+ * ```
+ * the returned matcher function will:
+ * - match requests to `/users/123`
+ * - extract `{ id: "123" }` as `params`
+ *
+ * ### Dynamic Matcher Example
+ * If the `IRouteDefinition` includes a `matcher` function, it will be used as-is.
+ *
+ * @param def - The route definition to convert into a matcher function.
+ *              Can be static (`path`) or dynamic (`matcher`).
+ *
+ * @returns A matcher function that receives a `URL` and `Request` and returns:
+ * - `{ params: Record<string, string> }` if the route matches
+ * - `null` if the route does not match the request
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```ts
+ * const matcher = createRouteMatcher({ method: "GET", path: "/repo/:owner/:name" });
+ * const result = matcher(new URL("http://localhost/repo/foo/bar"), req);
+ * // result: { params: { owner: "foo", name: "bar" } }
+ * ```
