There is already a way to test for posts via the request object: request.META['REQUEST_METHOD']. But your suggestion is not unreasonable, so best to file a ticket so that it can be considered without being forgotten. The implementation side is easy, if we decided to go this route: make sure that __nonzero__() on the MultiValueDict class returns the right thing in these cases.
