I was thinking more along the lines of the configuration context -
PythonOption can be anywhere, so you could end up with a bloated
dictionary. This is likely to be a minor quibble though. I'm sure we can
find other places to optimize first. I keep wondering how FieldStorage
might behave if it was written in C. ;)

Exactly. Less code == fewer bugs.
