What would be truly convenient would be to notice that DAV doesn't
require that we do anything at all for GETs of directories -- wow, how
nice to lose that chunk of code that we don't technically *need* to
support! But, we're nice folks, so we'll provide a simple,
easy-to-maintain[1] directory listing for the benefit of our users.

    built-in lack of complexity.
