Re: Idea for addition to Cgicc class

I do like it.  So much in fact that its already in CgiccExtended as of 
August of last year .. ; )

std::string operator[](std::string paramName)

Though I took the idea from MizCGI (and really from Perl's access of 
CGI elements via a hash with $cgi->Vars()).

I also implemented it as a method, since I don't really like to 
overload operators unless absolutely necessary:

cout << cgi.param("favoriteCheese")

Some of the other things I've done to simplify access form data in 
Cgicc can be seen here:

I really should work on CgiccExtended more, but I've been busy for a 
long time.
