This is an interesting point. When I first starting coding that part I
couldn't imagine in my mind any scenario where someone would want to
have to POST/GET values with the same name. I guess it is something
should get consideration but it makes things a little complicated. Right
now it is all just implemented as a map. Changing it to a multi-map
would actually break everything as then you are being returned data sets
instead of actual values.

Just out of curiosity, what grand purposes would warrant such a
functionality? You must have a good reason to have brought it up to
begin with.
