You also have req.form.get("xyz", null) which does exactly that (see http://dlang.org/hash-map.html). Since this is standard D AA behavior, I didn't want to deviate from that potentially creating confusion.

Upon further consideration, I'm not sure I agree this is a good idea.
I tend to think web dev should be as friction-less as possible, and this is a rather pointless point of friction...
I can see where you're coming from, but I'm not sure I agree. Getting form/url args is a fundamental operation.

Perhaps it might be interesting if you supported opDispatch? I found myself even getting annoyed at having to type req.form["xyz"]. The whole [""] thing is unnatural to type quickly (at least for me), and it looks pretty noisy. 'req.form.xyz' would be pretty nice!
