Heh, I worked on that a bit, as you know: the custom cleanup object
stuff was in support of that use case.

I considered doing such a piece of middleware myself: the asymmetry of
the "open in the app, close when the environ is destroyed" pattern
bothers me.
We would need to update docs to show how to use the shared connection
with a BFG app, I think, including requiring that this new middleware be
to the "left" of the repoze.tm{,2} middleware. We should also
illustrate writing the app such that it can function without the shared
connection, on the principle that the app should still function even in
the absence of any specific piece of it.
+1 from me.
Tres.
