As of changeset [3164], I've added the attribute request.method, which
is a string such as "POST" or "GET".
I debated making request.method a magic object that would let you
check via attribute access, as some syntactic sugar:
if request.method.POST:
...but I decided that would be too magic, and it would actually get in
the way of people doing stuff like "if request.method in ('GET',
'POST')". A plain string will do.
