Sometimes it is very handy to be able to explicitly expose a single static file
-- i think the qp demo sites use that for the site's favicon.ico export.

Besides, StaticDirectory uses StaticFile for each file it serves.

In any case, while both are extremely handy, in a high-traffic site you will
anyway want to expose statics more efficiently...

OT: One of QP's most attractive features is the short, clear, concise and 100%
comprehensive documentation [*] that, it seems, you have not yet read ;-!!

I suggest you print it out, and read thru it... over a few breakfasts, lunches,
or any other preferred context.

[*] The source code ;)
