     app.use(express.logger());
     app.use(express.bodyParser());
 
+Middleware ordering is important, when Connect receives a request the _first_ middleware we pass to _createServer()_ or _use()_ is executed with three parameters, _request_, _response_, and a callback function usually named _next_. When _next()_ is invoked the second middleware will then have it's turn and so on. This is important to note because many middleware depend on each other, for example _methodOverride()_ checks _req.body._method_ for the HTTP method override, however _bodyParser()_ parses the request body and populates _req.body_. Another example of this is cookie parsing and session support, we must first _use()_ _cookieParser()_ followed by _session()_.
+
+Many Express applications may contain the line _app.use(app.router)_, while this may appear strange, it's simply the middleware function that contains all defined routes, and performs route lookup based on the current request url and HTTP method. Express allows you to position this middleware, though by default it will be added to the bottom. By positioning the router, we can alter middleware precedence, for example we may want to add error reporting as the _last_ middleware so that any exception passed to _next()_ will be handled by it, or perhaps we want static file serving to have low precedence, allowing our routes to intercept requests to a static file to count downloads etc. This may look a little like below
+
+    app.use(express.logger(...));
+    app.use(express.bodyParser(...));
+    app.use(express.cookieParser(...));
+    app.use(express.session(...));
+    app.use(app.router);
+    app.use(express.static(...));
+    app.use(express.errorHandler(...));
+
+First we add _logger()_ so that it may wrap node's _req.end()_ method, providing us with response-time data. Next the request's body will be parsed (if any), followed by cookie parsing and session support, meaning _req.session_ will be defined by the time we hit our routes in _app.router_. If a request such as _GET /javascripts/jquery.js_ is handled by our routes, and we do not call _next()_ then the _static()_ middleware will never see this request, however if were to define a route as shown below, we can record stats, refuse downloads, consume download credits etc.

 By default the _session_ middleware uses the memory store bundled with Connect, however many implementations exist. For example [connect-redis](http://github.com/visionmedia/connect-redis) supplies a [Redis](http://code.google.com/p/redis/) session store and can be used as shown below:

+### app.lookup
+
+ The _app.lookup_ http methods returns an array of callback functions
+ associated with the given _path_.
+
+ Suppose we define the following routes:
+ 
+      app.get('/user/:id', function(){});
+      app.put('/user/:id', function(){});
+      app.get('/user/:id/:op?', function(){});
+
+  We can utilize this lookup functionality to check which routes
+  have been defined, which can be extremely useful for higher level
+  frameworks built on Express.
+
+      app.lookup.get('/user/:id');
+      // => [Function]
+
+      app.lookup.get('/user/:id/:op?');
+      // => [Function]
+
+      app.lookup.put('/user/:id');
+      // => [Function]
+
+      app.lookup.all('/user/:id');
+      // => [Function, Function]
+
+      app.lookup.all('/hey');
+      // => []
+
+  To alias _app.lookup.VERB()_, we can simply invoke _app.VERB()_
+  without a callback, as a shortcut, for example the following are
+  equivalent:
+  
+      app.lookup.get('/user');
+      app.get('/user');
+
+  Each function returned has the following properties:
+  
+      var fn = app.get('/user/:id/:op?')[0];
+
+      fn.regexp
+      // => /^\/user\/(?:([^\/]+?))(?:\/([^\/]+?))?\/?$/i
+
+      fn.keys
+      // => ['id', 'op']
+
+      fn.path
+      // => '/user/:id/:op?'
+
+      fn.method
+      // => 'GET'
+
+### app.match
+
+  The _app.match_ http methods return an array of callback functions
+  which match the given _url_, which may include a query string etc. This
+  is useful when you want reflect on which routes have the opportunity to
+  respond.
+
+  Suppose we define the following routes:
+
+        app.get('/user/:id', function(){});
+        app.put('/user/:id', function(){});
+        app.get('/user/:id/:op?', function(){});
+
+  Our match against __GET__ will return two functions, since the _:op_
+  in our second route is optional.
+
+      app.match.get('/user/1');
+      // => [Function, Function]
+
+  This second call returns only the callback for _/user/:id/:op?_.
+
+      app.match.get('/user/23/edit');
+      // => [Function]
+
+  We can also use _all()_ to disregard the http method:
+
+      app.match.all('/user/20');
+      // => [Function, Function, Function]
+
+  Each function matched has the following properties:
+  
+      var fn = app.match.get('/user/23/edit')[0];
+
+      fn.keys
+      // => ['id', 'op']
+
+      fn.params
+      // => { id: '23', op: 'edit' }
+
+      fn.method
+      // => 'GET'
+
 ### app.mounted(fn)
 
 Assign a callback _fn_ which is called when this _Server_ is passed to _Server#use()_.

+ * which us normalized placeholders. This callback has the same
+ * signature as regular middleware, for example below when ":userId"
+ * is used this function will be invoked in an attempt to load the user.
  *
- * When the callback function accepts only a single argument, the
- * value of placeholder is passed:

+ * Passing a single function allows you to map logic
+ * to the values passed to `app.param()`, for example
+ * this is useful to provide coercion support in a concise manner.
  *
- * After which "/users/:page" would automatically provide us with
- * an integer for `req.params.page`. If desired we could use the callback 
- * signature shown below, and immediately `next(new Error('invalid page'))`
- * when `parseInt` fails.
+ * The following example maps regular expressions to param values
+ * ensuring that they match, otherwise passing control to the next
+ * route:
  *
