I'd have no problem writing it in C, but I'm not convinced that the generality
is helpful with something intended to be small and fast. That wouldn't stop us
from rewriting the internals to a hypothetical Apache::HTML at some point in
the future, though.
I'm getting more confident about calling it Apache::Request::Form (no "s", for
name similarity with CGI::Form) now. It is dependent on Apache::Request, after
all, and reusing the CGI::Form name makes it look more general than it really
is, not to mention any strange version skew effects CPAN.pm might introduce
when people try to install things.
