A way to get current route?

[buildpeak]

Issue Description

Is there a better way to get the current route from a middleware or handler, other than this:

//MetricsMiddleware is a echo.Handler wrapper for Metrics
func (mr *MetricsRecorder) MetricsMiddleware(next echo.HandlerFunc) echo.HandlerFunc {
    return func(c echo.Context) error {
        endpoint := "UNKNOWN"
        for _, r := range c.Echo().Routes() {
            if r.Method == c.Request().Method && r.Path == c.Path() {
                endpoint = r.Name
            }
        }

        err := next(c)
        ...
        return err
    }
}

I think my use case is similar to OP. I want to prevent instrumenting requests that don't match a known route/method so that the middleware doesn't generate a new timeseries any time I get a request for a unique unknown route path.

This might have been fixed a long time ago with #235 which sets the path to a matched route.

But then possibly reversed with #794 which always sets the path, even for routes that don't exist.

Maybe the solution is to bring back c.MatchedRoute() which is set to a matched route name and empty on 404?

PR #1502 has been created which brings a context.MatchedRoute() method, that only returns paths of registered routes.
