+- If any ancestor path matches, the `.router-link-active` class is added
+- If the whole path matches, the `.router-link-exact-active` class is added

+- If the destination of the link contains any query parameter _and_ none of these is set (i.e. they are all `undefined`), then the class `.router-link-no-matching-query-flags` is added.

+This is particularly useful for modals.
