Fixed that, and it didn't work.  I went through all three permutations
(define-easy-handler (task-prioritize-url-handler :uri *task-prioritize*) 
((task :parameter-type 'list)) (task-prioritize task))

results in:
[2013-02-09 12:18:40 [DEBUG]] task-prioritize NIL

[2013-02-09 12:18:40 [DEBUG]] parameters ((task[] . 37) (task[] . 38)
                                          (task[] . 36))

the parameter name is "task[]", not "tasks" used as a default name for
the 'tasks' parameter in the easy handler.

try using real-name
