Yes, but that's fine. It's protected by a mutex. If that were to become a bottleneck, there are better implementations I could use, but since changes are rare, that hasn't been a problem.

In Spiffy, you can parameterize (or mutate, but that's not recommended)
some settings around the call to the "continue" procedure. So, a handler
does not need to actually send a response *or* call the continue
procedure; it can do things.

That sounds great.

Okay, should work.
