//! Iron's Middleware and Handler System
//!
//! Iron's Middleware system is best modeled with a diagram.
//!
//! ```plain
//! [b] = BeforeMiddleware
//! [a] = AfterMiddleware
//! [[h]] = AroundMiddleware
//! [h] = Handler
//! ```
//!
//! With no errors, the flow looks like:
//!
//! ```plain
//! [b] -> [b] -> [b] -> [[[[h]]]] -> [a] -> [a] -> [a] -> [a]
//! ```
//!
//! A request first travels through all BeforeMiddleware, then a Response is generated
//! by the Handler, which can be an arbitrary nesting of AroundMiddleware, then all
//! AfterMiddleware are called with both the Request and Response. After all AfterMiddleware
//! have been fired, the response is written back to the client.
//!
//! Iron's error handling system is pragmatic and focuses on tracking two pieces
//! of information for error receivers (other middleware):
//!
//! * The cause of the error
//! * The result (what to do about) the error.
//!
//! The cause of the error is represented simply by the error itself, and the result
//! of the error, representing the action to take in response to the error, is a complete
//! Response, which will be sent at the end of the error flow.
//!
//! When an error is thrown in Iron by any middleware or handler returning an `Err`
//! variant with an `IronError`, the flow of the Request switches to the error flow,
//! which proceeds to just call the `catch` method of middleware and sidesteps the
//! `Handler` entirely, since there is already a Response in the error.
//!
//! A Request can exit the error flow by returning an Ok from any of the catch methods.
//! This resumes the flow at the middleware immediately following the middleware which
//! handled the error. It is impossible to "go back" to an earlier middleware that was
//! skipped.
//!
//! Generally speaking, returning a 5XX error code means that the error flow should be
//! entered by raising an explicit error. Dealing with 4XX errors is trickier, since
//! the server may not want to recognize an error that is entirely the clients fault;
//! handling of 4XX error codes is up to to each application and middleware author.
//!
//! Middleware authors should be cognizant that their middleware may be skipped during
//! the error flow. Anything that *must* be done to each Request or Response should
//! be run during both the normal and error flow by implementing the `catch` method to
//! also do the necessary action.
//!
