Tomcat is downloaded roughly 100,000 times per month.  From many many
years of experience supporting Tomcat users, I can *guarantee* you that
the vast majority of those who download Tomcat would *not* understand the
implications of being able to do this.

(a) It's open source.  Download the source code for your favorite version
of Tomcat.  Modify it to do what you want.

(b) Spend a little more for your CPU and network bandwidth so that it's
not an issue.

As a Tomcat committer, I will unconditionally veto any attempt to include
this mis-feature in a standard version of Tomcat.  If you want a servlet
container that lets you hang yourself, please go elsewhere.
