Zope's HTTPRequest had a feature something like this, where something
like fieldname:int would automatically convert the field to integer.
We ripped it out because the argument parsing code added a lot of
complexity that we never used.  (See rev. 1.17 of http_request.py,
which discarded about 400 lines of code.)
