[mod_python] Sugestion about publisher

But I wonder what the usability of such a feature might be. (I'm not
aysing I'm against it, I'd just like to have a small discussion about it
first). 

In general, I do not like implicit or default stuff like this - I think if
you're specifying a module without a method, you should get nothing in
return. 

Another note - this modifies PATH_INFO. I think PATH_INFO should always
represent what the user passed.
