I had a thought that it might be interesting to have a simple C fronted
that converts HTTP to and from some pgsql friendly structure and delegates
all the core logic to a stored procedure in the database.

This might make it easier to hack on the API without worrying about memory
management and buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

Is this a brain wave or a brain fart?
