Hi Marek,

About two months ago, I wanted a quick little RESTful server for a
hack project. I have programmed against the PLT server in the past,
and had not yet used the Untyped "dispatch" library.

I created a dispatcher with one dispatch branch, wrote the function
that corresponded to it, and was done. The only trouble I had was when
I decided not to follow the example in the documentation, and did
something I thought would work. Then, I realized that the example is
actually minimal and clean---it does the right thing.

I don't mean to start some kind of A vs. B discussion here, but I did
want to challenge your notion that dispatch.plt is only for large
sites. It made writing a small, simple RESTful servlet an easy thing.

Your mileage may vary, not a lawyer, etc.

Cheers,
Matt
