* 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 * Multiple content-type/accept support for all the relevant combinators
* Provide *JSON*, *PlainText*, *OctetStream* and *FormUrlEncoded* content types out of the box * Provide *JSON*, *PlainText*, *OctetStream* and *FormUrlEncoded* content types out of the box
* Type-safe link generation to API endpoints * Type-safe link generation to API endpoints

-- The canonical form is defined and will basically turn: -- The canonical form of an API type is basically the all-flattened form
-- of the original type. More formally, it takes a type as input and hands you
-- back an /equivalent/ type formed of toplevel `:<|>`-separated chains of `:>`s,
-- i.e with all `:>`s distributed inside the `:<|>`s.
