Because it is written without the magic. The way Plug currently works is
needlessly nonfunctional and opaque. With this small change, we could turn

Why write `Plug :accept, ["html"]` when you can just write `accept("html")`
as part of a standard Elixir pipeline?
Function composition is a key part of FP.

non-breaking and noninvasice change that would add support. Then, in a
year's time, we can see if there's any adoption.
