I still think the handler_fn function is overkill. The performance of Apache 1.3 wasn't bad, because we did sane string compares, making sure that the lengths were equal before doing a full strcmp. Using the handler_fn is going to make writing a module VERY complex, because we will have multiple ways to solve the same problem. Either we use a handler_fn, or we use a handler name, not both.
