It is simple, since all your handler are effectively chained, any 
error in any one of them can cause later ones to fail or 
misbehave. This decreases locality and increases the things you 
have to reason about.

There are other benefits to uda tagged endpoints too, for example 
they are easier to nest, or to programmatically generate them. In 
vibe-d I added the default option of generating OPTION handlers 
for every regular endpoint. This is required for CORS.

That is good.
