The Content-Length requirement is a big killer for me. I'm usually
generating content in apps, rather deep in a stack of middleware-like
pieces that may or may not be looking at or modifying that content.
I don't want to a) have to unwind my generators at each level b)
reset the content-length here there and everywhere.

It could be I'm doing it completely wrong, but it works rather
nicely.
