+/// Middleware for fixing redirects from nested service to include the path they're nested at.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```
+/// use axum::{
+///     Router,
+///     routing::get,
+///     middleware::FixNestedRedirectLayer,
+///     response::Redirect,
+/// };
+///

+///     .route("/new", get(|| async { /* ... */ }));
+///
+/// let app = Router::new()
+///     .nest(
+///         "/api",
+///         // make sure the redirects include `/api`, i.e. `location: /api/new`
+///         api.layer(FixNestedRedirectLayer::default()),
+///     );
+/// # let _: Router = app;
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Multiple levels of nesting
+///
+/// If you're nesting multiple levels of routers make sure to add `FixNestedRedirectLayer` at the
+/// inner most level:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use axum::{
+///     Router,
+///     routing::get,

+///
+/// let app = Router::new()
+///     // don't add the middleware here
+///     .nest("/api", api);
+/// # let _: Router = app;
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Opt-out
+///
+/// Individual handlers can opt-out by including `FixNestedRedirectOptOut` in the response:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use axum::{
+///     Router,
+///     routing::get,
+///     middleware::{FixNestedRedirectLayer, FixNestedRedirectOptOut},
+///     response::Redirect,
