Can you show an example for how to use the RouterComponent as well :)
I would think it could be used as a sort of "base class" for any component that wishes to use the Router?

@Raynos - I took this gist and converted it into a repo mercury-router https://github.com/twilson63/mercury-router - gave you the credit - just wanted a npm module. if you want it under your account, I will be happy to transfer. Thanks again for the mercury framework and this gist!
