Summary
## Content
```typescript
// BAD: This won't work as expected
app.head('/api/users', (c) => {
// This handler will NEVER be called
c.header('X-Custom', 'value')
return c.text('ignored')
})
// BAD: Using on() also won't work
app.on('HEAD', '/api/users', (c) => {
// Still converted to GET before route matching
})
