gorilla/mux now provides first-class support for "middleware" thanks to @roobre! Middleware are handlers that can intercept request & response processing after a route match, but before/after other handlers are invoked. See the documentation for the full details: https://github.com/gorilla/mux#middleware

Previously, developers would have to use a thin wrapper to achieve this per-application. Requests for this functionality built up enough over time such that we've added it to mux's built-in methods.
