Thoughts and notes

• The upcoming Hyper 0.12.x will make improvements to Body like allow Body construction from a Stream.
• Hyper is also migrating to https://github.com/hyperium/http which will incur substantial API changes.
• I'm not sure which is the best way to start a Hyper server. There are a variety of options because so many different objects can collaborate across various packages. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use tokio, tokio-core, tokio-io, nor what the intended mix is. I'm also not sure of the performance differences between things like tokio's Runtime, the reactor Core, and other executors.
• I rewrote this project in an effort to split my originally monolithic Service into middleware. However, during the process, I've become uncertain of the execution model. For example, I would have thought that hunk would perform a lot worse than it does, and I'm not sure where its issues lie. I seem to pass hunk's threadpool around out of superstition than deliberate strategy.
