I've written new code that I think will offer the most functionality
to the most people. The only functions modified are
Form.serializeElements, Form.Methods.serialize, Hash.toQueryString and
String.prototype.toQueryParams.
- Forms are serialized directly to strings so that there is no hash
middle-step to introduce inconsistencies favoring any server-side
technology
- When creating a hash from a string, an optional parameter
"strict" (use true) will produce:
foo=bar&foo=baz {foo:['baz']} rather than {foo:['bar','baz']} (the
default)
foo[]=bar&foo[]=baz is still {foo:['bar','baz']} in both cases
foo[0]=bar&foo[1]=baz is also supported to enable nesting
- Hash.toQueryString will add indexes to arrays which allows for
complete nesting of arrays and hashes. This shouldn't be a problem for
anyone when serializing forms because this is not used during form
serialization.
- String.prototype.toQueryParams can correctly deserialize any string
produced by toQueryString, even those with nested hashes and arrays
(only possible with explicit array indexes).

Does anyone have any problems with this proposal?
Thanks,
