It can't access fiber storage.

request storage is specific to Lua which doesn't have Go-style deferrables,
Python-style finally() or any other working means for controlled
garbage collection.

Even in Lua it is better done as a third party library, which works
the same way as box.atomic(): wraps the request body with 
a RAII-style function.

This feature *is* broken & redundant, and instead of making the
damage controlled, you want to "fix" it by making the feature
universal and implementing it on C level.
