Old classes
-----------

These classes, present in earlier versions of the `cgi' module, are
still supported for backward compatibility.  New applications should
use the `FieldStorage' class.

`SvFormContentDict' stores single value form content as dictionary; it
assumes each field name occurs in the form only once.

`FormContentDict' stores multiple value form content as a dictionary
(the form items are lists of values).  Useful if your form contains
multiple fields with the same name.

Other classes (`FormContent', `InterpFormContentDict') are present for
backwards compatibility with really old applications only.  If you
still use these and would be inconvenienced when they disappeared from
a next version of this module, drop me a note.
