Patches welcome.

That turns out to suck, because what happens if your subreq needs to do
some other subreq and handle that?

In any case, a subrequest should -by default- be transparent.

If you want to be able to tell, just include is_subrequest => 1 in your
stash stuff and test the stash var in your app code.

A doc patch showing how to do this would be welcome.
