REVISION SUMMARY
  Well, I tried to go with PEP 3333's recommendations and only allow
  our WSGI application to emit data via a response generator.
  Unfortunately, the "archive" command calls into the zipfile and
  tarfile modules and these operator on file objects and must send
  their data to an object with write(). There's no easy way turn
  these write() calls into a generator.
  
  So, we teach our response type how to expose a file object like
  object that can be used to write() output. We try to keep the API
  consistent with how things work currently: callers must call a
  setbody*(), then sendresponse() to trigger sending of headers,
  and only then can they get a handle on the object to perform
  writing.
  
  This required overloading the return value of @webcommand functions
  even more. Fortunately, we're almost completely ported off the
  legacy API. So we should be able to simplify matters in the near
  future.
  
  A test relying on this functionality has also been updated to use
  the new API.
