// An InterceptorFunc is functionality invoked by the framework BEFORE or AFTER
// an action.
//
// An interceptor may optionally return a Result (instead of nil).  Depending on
// when the interceptor was invoked, the response is different:
// 1. BEFORE:  No further interceptors are invoked, and neither is the action.
// 2. AFTER: Further interceptors are still run.
// In all cases, any returned Result will take the place of any existing Result.
//
// In the BEFORE case, that returned Result is guaranteed to be final, while
// in the AFTER case it is possible that a further interceptor could emit its
// own Result.
//
// Interceptors are called in the order that they are added.
//
// ***
//
// Two types of interceptors are provided: Funcs and Methods
//
// Func Interceptors may apply to any / all Controllers.
//
//   func example(*revel.Controller) revel.Result
//
// Method Interceptors are provided so that properties can be set on application
// controllers.
