0.15.1 hacks

[zigster64]

Not submitting this as an actual PR - just using it as a reference for comparisons, in case that helps.

A number of small (but annoying) changes Ive made on top of master to get it compiling and running all the examples bug-free. Do check example_01 as well - it may build, but it will crash on posting the form if you keep std.fmt.format() in the execution path

In all my applications, I make liberal use of this pattern that I would prefer to keep using :

w = res.writer() and then rely on w.print(fmtstring, args) all over the place

Trying hard to avoid using &w.interface as a substitute, doesnt look or feel good at all

Also trying hard to avoid std.fmt.format(), because this calls adaptToNewApi() or something, which in turn gives us back a res.Writer() that has a NULL res ... which then starts a world of problems (see example_01 -> submit form = segfault trying to deref the NULL Writer.res value

[zigster64]

alternative - change the error return type to match std.Io.Writer.Error type

Thanks, this was useful. But I did adopt the:

var w = res.writer;
whatever(&w.interface);

pattern, I also think it's clunky (but, actually, the least clunky part of this whole new API), but I don't think it's useful to avoid it in a library.
