/**
 * Route drawing phase.
 *
 * This phase will `require` a routes file, allowing the application to draw its
 * routes.
 *
 * This phase is typically the last phase before instructing the server to
 * listen.  Any initializers should be run prior to drawing routes, ensuring
 * that the application is fully prepared to handle requests.
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 *   app.phase(bootable.routes('routes.js'));
 *
 * @param {String|Object} options
 * @return {Function}
 * @api public
