I think you're talking about an enhancement to the Network.Wai.Parse
API. I actually think it's already pretty close to this, we likely
need to just expose the internals a bit more. I'm definitely in favor,
and I'll add an issue (under the yesod repo, simply because more
people stay up-to-date on those issues, though it should technically
go under wai).
