   10 # shortcuts of CGI.
   11 # It is probably not ready for prime time.
   12 # It only concatenates arguments if the first
   13 # argument is a hash (possibly empty) of params.
   14 # This enforces uniformity, but it is also annoying
   15 # The error reporting however is fairly good.
   16 # It is shorter than CGI, but it may not be easy to maintain
   17 # if it seems desirable to use it then the code should be cleaned up
   18 # There are many places where code can be factored out to improve speed
   19 # increase reliability and readability
