The little discussion there has been has been around using a
RequestDispatcher to trigger server push. There is a strong implication
there that the existing API will be extended rather than a new one
added. Based on the general Java EE views on backwards compatibility I'm
expecting HTTP/2 to have to work (at some level) with existing Servlets.
What the extended API will look like for HTTP/2 is TBD at this point.

I have now plumbed in basic request/response processing.

Kudos to those behind the Tomcat 4.1.x refactoring. It was a long time
ago (before my time on the project) but the API put in place then made
it incredibly easy to plumb the HTTP/2 stuff into the existing code.

There are still plenty of TODOs (flow control is ignored for request
bodies for example) but you should be able to navigate around the
examples app. Note: the async examples don't work (as expected - I
haven't looked at that yet).

The next steps are:
- implement the state machine for streams;
- start thinking about how/when to clean up closed streams;
- address the various TODOs throughout the code (ignored frame types,
  error conditions, etc);
- implement the various restrictions required by the spec that
  we currently ignore and just hope the client does the right thing.
- add async / non-blocking I/O support
