	// TODO: We really want to be able to establish middleware here, the routes
	// on the otherhand should be in routes, maybe the middleware should be
	// there too
	//app.Router.Use(middleware.RealIP)
	//app.Router.Use(middleware.Logger)
	//app.Router.Use(middleware.Recoverer)
	//app.Router.Use(middleware.DefaultCompress)
	//app.Router.Use(middleware.Timeout(60 * time.Second))

	// TODO: Right now the differation between the separate controllers is
	// meaningless because it carries no other data than the framework its
	// connected to. If this remains the case then we dont need the local
	// controller type (which may be useful because it greatly simplifies the
	// entire app portion of the project)

	// app.Controller.Root()

	// controller should eventually be the equivilent to the engine in the gin
	// framework; it should contain:
	//    * the router (mux)
	//    * the before/after action hooks
	//    * available actions
	//    * models, and whitelisting of field access
	//    * cached results
	//    * a reduced context (isnt whole app object or framework object)
	//    * ServeHTTP() method, so it can be  used as a handler

	//    Controller will need a way to handle mapping paths to actions
	//               and a way to interact with the models in a sane manner

	// TODO: THis looks right, we route a specific path to a controller action
	// and this will be very much like Rails which we are trying to mimic as
	// much as possible. SO many web frameworks claim to be rails like but this
	// web framework should feel natural to rails users ideally
