Well, it could, but I don't see how it could work. Many of the
"more-familiar router contructs" would not be possible. Consider

local_parts = ...
domains = ...

for example. With more than one recipient, they can't work. The whole
ethos of a router is that it works on one address, so I'm kind of
confused as to exactly what kind of thing you want.
