 - A new way to customize the handler's parameter among with the `hero` and `mvc` packages. New `iris.NewContextWrapper` and
  `iris.NewContextPool` methods were added to wrap a handler (`.Handler`, `.Handlers`, `.HandlerReturnError`, `HandlerReturnDuration`, `Filter` and `FallbackViewFunc` methods) and use a custom context instead of the iris.Context directly. Example at: https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/main/_examples/routing/custom-context.
