I agree.  I think Dave has mentioned that the alter_superclass thing makes him
sad (he probably didn't phrase it quite that way).

Also, CGIHandler and H::M::Request::CGI have always seemed like second-class
citizens in the mason world to me; it's clear that things evolved first to
handle Apache/mod_perl and then sort of slowly to also cover CGI.

Abstraction of the input method might be a useful design goal for 2.0.  It's
something that Catalyst has done very well, as far as my experience goes.
