+             * Generally creating custom `Route`s is not supported by react-router.
+             *
+             * However, if we take a look at how `Route`s are declared in the repo,
+             * we see that it's fairly straight forward:
+             * - https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/modules/Route.js#L21
+             *
+             * ```
+             * const route = createRouteFromReactElement(element)
+             *
+             * [...]
+             *
+             * return route;
+             * ```
+             *
+             * Unfortunately, though `createRouteFromReactElement` is not exported by
+             * react-router, as can be seen here:
+             * - https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/modules/index.js#L19
+             *
+             * Still there is a trick we can use to call this method manually.
+             * We call `createRoutes`:
+             * - (https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/modules/RouteUtils.js#L91)
+             * which then calls `createRoutesFromReactChildren`
+             *
+             * For each route element submitted as an array, this method checks if
+             * `element.type.createRouteFromReactElement` is `true` or `false`.
+             *
+             * So what we can do is just simply set our element's `type.createRouteFromReactElement`
+             * to `false`, so that the if statement falls into the methods `else` case and calls
+             * `createRouteFromReactElement`:
+             * - https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/modules/RouteUtils.js#L77
+             *
+             * After returning from `createRoutes`, we set `element.type.createRouteFromReactElement`
+             * to its original value and replace route's `component`, with our manually inserted
+             * component.
