While we're at it, could we also have the route - eg /killing/:client -
as well as the handler?

However, once we start passing more than one parameter around, it's
probably best to pass them as a single object so maybe decorate
Dancer::Request with them, given that request() is already available in
'before' hooks.

That would also get rid of the little niggle I would have about
specifically passing extra data to 'before' hooks - unless you meant to
also pass the data to other hooks too.

Thanks!
