Comment:

 Added patch; this requires registering the `HEAD` endpoint before the
 `GET` one. Essentially internally we're now treating `GET` as `GET,HEAD`,
 so this matches the behaviour of first-match we currently have (that is,
 if you have two endpoints with `POST,PUT` and `POST` respectively, a
 `POST` will match the first one).

 @danielbachhuber @joehoyle @rachelbaker :thumbsup: on the approach? We'll
 need to make sure it's documented that `GET` is treated as `GET,HEAD`.
