* Created complete wrapper function instead of just 2 lines.

The names are used to create a map of route variables which can be retrieved calling `mux.Vars()`:
```go
vars := mux.Vars(request)
category := vars["category"]
func ArticlesCategoryHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
vars := mux.Vars(r)
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8")
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Category: %v\n", vars["category"])
}
```
And this is all you need to know about the basic usage. More advanced options are explained below.
