Incidentally, I've added a check for QUERY_STRING (missing QUERY_STRING
causes buggy cgi module behavior, per my previous email) and
HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE/LENGTH to paste.lint (it's an error now, but maybe it
should be a warning). I'd encourage people to use it to check server
and application behavior (it just watches things go by, it doesn't
effect the request).
