Unfortunately, no. Your points are more than well taken
though. The primary reasons for choosing this 'format' were:
1. We need a fast, simple way to decode the input param
string.. This decoding is done possibly twice per rendering.
Things could be done to minimize that need, but not right now as
things stand. In any case, a fast decoding is desired.
2. The author was lazy, and is somewhat inept with regards
to such matters.. He was thus led towards 'simple' even more than
fast... or anything else for that matter.
Obviously, (2) is not very satisfactory.
If anyone could help out here with a better, fast enough,
format-spec-and-decoding-implementation, that would be great :)
