[Flask] A bit confused about route decorator and optional parameters

[Skip Montanaro]

Thanks for the pointer. I've been away from any sort of web
development for a long while. Things have changed quite a bit since
the days of cgi.FieldStorage.

For you young'uns out there, the Python documentation for the cgi
module shows how we used to get things done. Everyone had the print
statement and a bunch of angle brackets in their toolkit. Seems quaint
now. :-)
