Kindly check if my assumption is correct? In relation to this issue, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28251154/laravel-5-0-dev-defining-global-patterns-is-not-working/29567578#29567578 and https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/route-global-pattern-in-routeserviceprovider-not-working-in-laravel-5?page=1

or this could be a different issue/bug

thanks!
