   This is a special case. With handlers we are in effect creating a
   virtual file system (from a point of view of the web server). So it
   is semantically correct to return a "not found" message.

   It isn't a big deal, since you can always inherit the servlet and
   override the method but to me feels natural.

   I somehow managed to overlook the fact that the
   NoSuchRequestHandlingMethodException exception is actually wrapped inside
   the ServletException. Obviously, that is good enough as far as propagation
   is concerned.
