Emphatic. :)

Plus, this really doesn't need to be part of Quixote; you could implement it
as a function wrapper.

_q_exports = ['func', ...]

def func [html] (foo, bar):
    '
'
    foo
    ...

func = arg_parser(func)

where arg_parser is a class or function that returns a callable, something
like (untested):

def arg_parser (func):
    def f (request):
        if hasattr(func.__call__, "func_code"):
            varnames=func.__call__.func_code.co_varnames
        ... rest of Thomas's code ...
        return func(*args, **form)
    return f
