Hmm. I've started reading about Functional Reactive Programming. As near
as I can tell your library resembles baconjs, but with bindings specific to
dealing with express requests. But after reading the documentation and your

and how you would handle a situation where you must iterate asynchronously
over many objects returned from a query, for instance.
