Next we'll look at the best practices for creating Koa middleware. Note that the final middleware (step __6__) yields to what looks to be nothing - it's actually
yielding to a no-op generator within Koa. This is so that every middleware can conform with the
same API, and may be placed before or after others. If you removed `yield next;` from the furthest
"downstream" middleware everything would function appropritaely, however it would no longer conform
to this behaviour.
For example this would be fine:
```js
app.use(function(){
return function *response(){
if ('/' != this.url) return;
this.body = 'Hello World';
}
});
```
It's important to note that not all middleware will need to conform, the best example of this
is a router, which are typically always acting as end-points, or downstream middleware:
````js
app.use(get('/', function *(){
this.body = 'Hello World';
});
```
