-- `Context.SetFunc(name string, fn interface{}, persistenceArgs ...interface{})` and `Context.CallFunc(name string, args ...interface{}) ([]reflect.Value, error)` to allow middlewares to share functions dynamically when the type of the function is not predictable, see the [example](https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/main/_examples/routing/writing-a-middleware/share-funcs) for more.

+- `Context.TextYAML(any) error` same as `Context.YAML` but with set the Content-Type to `text/yaml` instead (Google Chrome renders it as text). 
 - `Context.IsDebug() bool` reports whether the application is running under debug/development mode. It is a shortcut of Application.Logger().Level >= golog.DebugLevel.
 - `Context.IsRecovered() bool` reports whether the current request was recovered from the [recover middleware](https://github.com/kataras/iris/tree/main/middleware/recover). Also the `Context.GetErrPublic() (bool, error)`, `Context.SetErrPrivate(err error)` methods and `iris.ErrPrivate` interface have been introduced. 
 - `Context.RecordRequestBody(bool)` same as the Application's `DisableBodyConsumptionOnUnmarshal` configuration field but registers per chain of handlers. It makes the request body readable more than once.
 - `Context.IsRecordingBody() bool` reports whether the request body can be readen multiple times.
-- `Context.ReadHeaders(ptr interface{}) error` binds request headers to "ptr". [Example](https://github.com/kataras/iris/blob/main/_examples/request-body/read-headers/main.go).

 - `Context.URLParamSlice(name string) []string` is a a shortcut of `ctx.Request().URL.Query()[name]`. Like `URLParam` but it returns all values as a string slice instead of a single string separated by commas. Note that it skips any empty values (e.g. https://iris-go.com?values=).
 - `Context.PostValueMany(name string) (string, error)` returns the post data of a given key. The returned value is a single string separated by commas on multiple values. It also reports whether the form was empty or when the "name" does not exist or whether the available values are empty. It strips any empty key-values from the slice before return. See `ErrEmptyForm`, `ErrNotFound` and `ErrEmptyFormField` respectfully.
