That sounds good. I hope there is a plan to port/wrap/emulate the new
CP3 dispatcher options too!

Nontheless, I think a page addressing this issue would be a good idea
and would reassure a lot of people who are either new to TG or thinking
of using it and are now wondering whether they will be wasting time
learning the CP way of doing things.

This is probably a stupid question as I don't know WSGI at all, but will
it possible to emulate CP tools? They look really useful in CP3. Perhaps
part of the end goal should be to provide all the CP convenience
features on top of paster too?

Thanks
