 The `NotFound` handler can for example be used to serve static files from the root path `/` (like an index.html file along with other assets):
 ```go
 // Serve static files from the ./public directory
-router.NotFound = http.FileServer(http.Dir("public")).ServeHTTP
+router.NotFound = http.FileServer(http.Dir("public"))
 ```
 
 But this approach sidesteps the strict core rules of this router to avoid routing problems. A cleaner approach is to use a distinct sub-path for serving files, like `/static/*filepath` or `/files/*filepath`.
