I find the order of the application return arguments really annoying,
could it just be status, headers, body? Mirrors the actual structure
of the request, which is easier to remember IMO.

Also, I would really like it if the header value returned by
applications must be checked for an .items() method so we can return
(o)dicts in addition to tuples.

I also keep thinking that some things (for example status) should just
be allowed to be text, but restricted to ascii.

Cheers,
