[Twisted-Python] Resource.render() returning NOT_DONE_YET

I was just giving a quick Twisted tutorial to someone using
twisted and as we were breaking page construction into more
than one chunk... an unexpected stumbling block occurred --
returning NOT_DONE_YET form the resource's render() function.
I was thinking about two other options:
1. Perhaps NOT_DONE_YET could just be None, this
way, it can be the default return value. As I'm
browsing through my code this is the most common
return... why not make it the default.
2. Alternatively, allow a Deferred to be a return
value. Then the underlying caller can add
result.finish() to the deferred chain. This
has the advantage of not requiring finish() to
really be managed. Either the return value is
a string, a Deferred, (or for backwards compatibiliy
NOT_DONE_YET). In either of the primary cases,
result.finish() always gets called... thus making
it easier on newbies.
Ideally, both of the above options could be used...
Best,
Clark
