The classes are unfortunately just a container for routes. So if 
you got a better way, that can provide the same functionality, 
I'd love for a plan on how to do it!

Basically my idea is that you register as little as possible. 
That was why I went with a class for routes.

I'm really gunning for less, simpler = more. And for medium-large 
sites thats kinda important.
