[sethmlarson]

Early WIP not ready for review yet. Closes #108.

What's the status of this? Not impatient, just curious if it'll make it into 0.6.9 :-)

I've got some local changes but I've been mostly doing maintenance work for the project the past few days. I think tomorrow I'll have a block of time I can devote to working more on it. I'd also like to see it be released soon so we can get feedback early :)

My rough sense on this is that it should make it in at some point, but that we should be focusing on a narrowly-as-possible scoped 1.0 beta release, and that this is over-stretch.

I don't want us to give ourselves loads of API surface area too early on.

Plus I think that we might want to take a bit of a look more generally at the dispatcher API / if we need some other middleware or hooks interface / if the redirect logic can be more neatly encapsulated as a middleware-ish layer.

If anything we may want to start by ensuring that our dispatcher API or anything else we introduce at that kind of level is sufficiently fit-for-purpose that stuff like retries can by implemented as a third party pacakge if needed.

Sure, I'll close this for now. We can revisit later!
