Reproduction of https://github.com/go-chi/chi/issues/382

main.go

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/go-chi/chi/middleware"

	"github.com/go-chi/chi"
	"github.com/go-chi/render"
)

func main() {
	router := chi.NewRouter()
	router.Use(middleware.DefaultCompress)
	router.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		render.Status(r, http.StatusTeapot)
		render.JSON(w, r, "This is it boys")
	})

	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8081", router))
}

Expected behaviour when GETting http://localhost:8081/ is to get a HTTP status 418 "I'm a teapot". Unfortunately the line 15 causes Chi to overwrite the status with 200.
