I think header_props() can go away as long as there's a header_clear() or
something similar incase you want to clobber other headers. At least this way

That depends. Is the new port of CGI in Perl6 just as clunky as the old one?

I think we should drop 'CGI' from the name. It has a very negative connotation
with some people. They think that CGI scripts are 1990's web even though almost
all dynamic web sites operate over the CGI protocol.

Web::Application? Web::App ?
