+/** @defgroup serialize serialize
+ *  Calls sub handlers one request at a time.
+ *  @ingroup utilities
+ *  This functionally passes in one request at a time
+ *  into lower handlers rather than a whole bunch of requests at once.
+ *  This is useful for handlers that don't want to iterate through the
+ *  request lists themselves.  Generally, this is probably less
+ *  efficient so use with caution.  The serialize handler might be
+ *  useable to dynamically fix handlers with broken looping code,
+ *  however.
