Express middleware

[bredele]

Express accepts functions and/or express apps as middleware.

var app = require('express')();
app.use(function(){
});
app.use('/path', require('./otherapp'));

It's really useful to split an express app into smaller modules with single responsibilities. Feathers doesn't support it.

The problem is that we check if there is a get handler into the service:

use:function(location, service) {
...
 if (_.some(this.methods, hasServiceMethod)) {
      return this.service(location, service);
    }
...
}

A express app has always a get handler and feathers thinks it's a service.

An express app is an instance of Object (no function constructor) and doesn't expose any type, package name or version. The only way I see to know if that's an express app is to look for specific handlers (might be defaultConfiguration, propfind, etc).
