  My understanding is that Cherokee can't do much on that.

  I usually have to spread awful things like this along the code I
  need to debug. :-(

    echo "<h1>I'm here: val=$val</h1>"; die;

  Anyway, I know that Jonathan or Pablo are subscribed to the list,
  (they are the one of best web developers I have ever met..) so
  hopefully they will have some tricks and advices ;-)
