Well, I guess I sparked some discussion here. Great! I am +1 on the
above construct, calling pause_output and yielding an empty string. I'm
glad this technique came up because I hadn't paid enough attention to
the environ dict and how it could be used to do something like this.
I think with servers providing a pause_output callable like this,
asynchronous applications will be possible and the isolation between
the layers can be preserved. I am going to try writing some code using
this construct and provide further feedback after I do.
