hi all! i'm trying to understand webob.Request's decode_param_names keyword
arg, but i'm not having much luck. i've attached a patch against trunk that
i think fixes one bug, but even with the fix, i'm not sure i understand the
intent behind the code.
decode_param_names is passed through to decode_keys in UnicodeMultiDict. if
it's True, keys returned by methods like keys(), items(), etc. are decoded.
however, keys passed in to methods like __getitem__ and __setitem__ are
expected to be encoded.
that means that expressions like umd[umd.keys()[0]] fail with a KeyError,
which seems counter-intuitive. was that really the intent?
