Hi!

In the C++ standard, a sequence container (and a map also) has operator[], but it returns a _reference_ to the found object, _not an iterator_ to it. I think Cgicc should behave the same way (especially because it internally stores the entries in a C++ standard vector), so I would be able to access the FormEntry object as (cgi is a Cgicc object)
cgi["identifier"]
instead of
*cgi["identifier"]

The difference becomes more ugly, if I want to call a function of the object. I must write
(*cgi["identifier"]).length()
instead of
cgi["identifier"].length()

The getXXX functions return iterators, so changing operator[] 's return type does not narrow the usage of class Cgicc. Of course this is a minor thing, but would be a nice feature. Or did I missed something?

Please reply to my address, because I'm not on the list!

Thanks!
