Is there any existing code for parsing the q-values. For example, to
get a list of Accept-Encoding values ordered by their "q" values?

Maybe I'm looking for something simpler.

Instead of giving choose() a list of optional formats, I only want to
see if the client accepts a given encoding. This is to update a
Catalyst plugin that supports deflate and gzip encoding. Currently,
the plugin (or really the application coder) decides which to look for
first. So, I'd like to try and respect the order that the client
indicates in the Accept-Encoding headers (including q values, if
used).

I realize content negotiation is a bit more complex than this.
