Someone emailed me recently to tell me about their new MVC framework project.
Oh, I thought. That's nice. Now what?

If I seriously maintained the list of competitors, my wiki would be running
way over its disk quota. Implementing an MVC framework has become the new
templating module: everyone has their own not-invented-here solution, and
that's not counting the bazillions of company-internal ones we'll never get to
see. What we need is a really flexible, extensible, simple and well-designed
solution that encompasses all of the usual ideas and provides scope for
implementing even more.

Thankfully...
