  end

  def call(env)

    # returns Rack::Middleware2

    # who is after me?
    env['rack.capabilities'].after(self)
    # returns Rack::Middleware4

    # can I go find Rack::Middleware1?
    env['rack.capabilities'].find(Rack::Middleware1)
    # returns Rack::Middleware1

    # or just find based on anything!
    env['rack.capabilities'].find{|mw| mw.respond_to?(:curious?)}
    # returns our friend, CuriousMiddleware

    # And presumably you'd
    # want to do stuff..
    # but thats up to you

    @app.call(env)

Rack::Capabilities must be required (not autoloaded as it must monkey patch Rack::Builder). The rack.capabilities environment variable is only available at call time.
