You should be able to set the 'dhandler_name' parameter to undef or the 
empty string, and that should turn off dhandlers in that context.  
However, it looks like we don't actually test this functionality in our 
regression tests and a quick inspection of the code makes me think it 
doesn't actually work.

Also, it makes me wonder why dhandler_name is a Request parameter, but 
autohandler_name is an Interp parameter.

I'll investigate with a couple of tests.
