Get Matrix Parameter from current path segment

[glassfishrobot]

The @MatrixParam annotation will only detect matrix parameters when they are the
last thing in the URL. For example:

.../X;a=b will work

but .../X;a=b/ will not work

and .../X;a=b/Y/ will not work

Paul's suggestion to address this would be:

1. The ability to get the current path segment or segments associated with the
   resource; and

2. a qualifier on @MatrixParam to declare that the matrix parameter is
   associated with the current path segment
   (or the last path segment in the current set).

I'd like to see @MatrixParam supporting this as being able to use MatrixParams embedded in the URI is one of the main advantages of using them at all.

IMO @MatrixParam should always handle the matrix params at the end of the currently matched path. Whether or not other matrix parameters come later in the URI should be of no relevance for this.
