TODO: This should go in the wiki but I've disabled the wiki for now.

A list of git commits that I think will be useful to future me, like large refactorings that I would like to revisit in the future.

• 7429b6b Reabstracting the accept-language Lang and Locale system.

  I did this reabstraction to make it easier to match/compare langs. For instance, Lang.English() should match en but also all en-*. But it's still highly experimental since I'm not very opinionated on how i18n should work. I'll revisit this system when I want to play with real world i18n impl's since that will be the real test of flexibility, and I know the current system isn't there yet.

• [14 July] f235a63 Created ContentType(Mime, params) abstraction.

  Trying to get rid of content-type string-typing, and trying to unify/canonicalize all instances of mimes in kog. Probably went too far, but won't be able to see where/why I need to reabstract until I upgrade one of my kog apps that uses content-type more extensively.

  Not so convinced that having strings here is all that bad. But I do hate typing out "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" when I have to.

  Another issue is that the user can potentially use both res.setHeader(Header.ContentType, "text/html") and res.contentType = ContentType(Mime.Html), but right now I make the res.contentType overwrite the content-type header.

  One thing you can do now with the new ContentType(mime, params) abstraction is add a charset=uft-8 and potentially other params (how many are actually used? I can only think of multipart boundary ><). Previously you could not.
