* Add a `Canonicalize` type family that distributes all `:>`s inside `:<|>`s to get to the canonical type of an API -- which is then used in all other packages to avoid weird handler types in *servant-server*.
* Multiple content-type/accept support for all the relevant combinators
* Provide *JSON*, *PlainText*, *OctetStream* and *FormUrlEncoded* content types out of the box
* Type-safe link generation to API endpoints
