This may be more of a feature request than a question.
I generally use StatefulSnippets rather than RequestVars. I have several places 
in my Lift webapp where one should be redirected to a screen managed by a 
StatefulSnippet. Until recently I thought it would suffice to use S.mapSnippet 
to map the StatefulSnippet's method as a function.
However, this approach has two shortcomings: (1) If the page uses multiple 
snippet methods it become tedious to write mapSnippet for each one. (2) Since 
the snippet can't be registered because it can only get a snippetName via 
private[http] API, any stateful links, redirects, or submits don't work. Of 
course a workaround may be custom replacement methods on the snippet that use 
multiple mapSnippets rather than registerThisSnippet, but again this can become 
tedious.
Would it be possible to create a public API either to assign a snippet its name 
so it can be registered, or to retreive a snippet by name? Or better yet, 
assign its name in its constructor or the first time registerThisSnippet etc. 
is called?
