I don't pipe up much but dispatch has been on my
mind for a while as I have been working on this:

http://lukearno.com/projects/selector/

I think dispatching is best left as an (obvious) exercise
to the reader. What dispatching makes sense, what
metaphor or technique should be applied, is situational.

When I see other WSGI servers requiring a list of
prefix/app pairs in their init signature, I am put off.

The server's job is to translate HTTP (or SCGI, FCGI,
etc.) to WSGI. Just do that.

To me WSGI is not just the freedom of frameworks
interoperating, but the freedom _from_ frameworks.
The stack can be unbundled and I can pick the the
best thing for my needs at each layer, à la carte.
