I figured out part of it. In the html input element the name 
has to be employeeform.first_name.
but now I get a different error: Error handling field 
'employeeform.id': Missing form field.


I tried declaring the id as @optional, but that did not make a 
difference.

```d
struct Employee
{
@optional long id;
string first_name;
string last_name;
}
```
Is there another way to indicate that a field does not have to 
be in the form?


Make it a `Nullable!int`

I know I can do this manually by looking at HTTPServerRequest 
req, but the documentation for registerWebInterface sounds like 
there's an automatic way to do this.

```

required/>
required/>


```
```d
struct Employee
{
long id;
string first_name;
@string last_name;
}
```
in my web interface service I tried:
```d
void postEmployeeform (Employee employeeform)
```
but that won't compile. The following compiles and works:
```d
void postEmployeeform (string first_name, string last_name)

```
