The use case is to have a very easily set up way to serve basic pages
and files, without a lot of configuration files and other
infrastructure. The main reason not to use it would be security holes
if there are some. I haven't examined the code carefully but didn't see
obvious issues at a quick glanace. I frankly worry more about large C
programs than Python programs.
