If the shutdown callback is next to the application and not registered 
in a request, why not also have the symmetric "server start up" callback 
that would not wait for a request? This would avoid workarounds like 
Flask.before_first_request.

Both of these callbacks could be called once per process (aka. space 
where requests share memory.)

Instead of having to provide two or three objects separately to a 
server, how about making the callbacks attributes of the application 
callable?
