Hello  
I worked on some modules via laminas MVC and Middleware, I needed some parameters like `validator` name for request or `permission` for each handler to manage RBAC and same.

I put all of them in route default options and have access and use them in Middleware and handler. like this example

```auto
    'child_routes' => [
        'login' => [
            'type' => Literal::class,
            'options' => [
                'route' => '/login',
                'defaults' => [
                    'module' => 'user',
                    'section' => 'api',
                    'package' => 'profile',
                    'handler' => 'login',
                    'permissions' => 'user_login',
                    'validation' => 'login',
                    'controller' => PipeSpec::class,
                    'middleware' => new PipeSpec(
                        Middleware\SecurityMiddleware::class,
                        Middleware\ValidationMiddleware::class,
                        Handler\Api\LoginHandler::class
                    ),
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],

```

Is true? or better I should use another way?

thanks
