Well, one could add the conversion part too, without much problems.
And considering the performance hit: The ugliest part is getting the
parameter information out of the callable object.
This could be easily cached. And not even this is that slow, for example
on my Sony FX201 (Duron700), analyzing
def quixfunc(request):
        pass
into
function : ['request',]

Well, it would take about 0.04ms for the first call of a traditional
quixote function. Compare this to about 6ms for a optimized fcgi page,
and the cost seems to become very small.
