The util.FieldStorage class, plus parse_qs and parse_qsl functions take a
parameter called strict_parsing. All the documentation says is:

  The \var{strict_parsing} argument is not yet implemented.

Ie., it doesn't even say what it is meant to be for.

Does anyone know what it is meant to be for. The closest I could find as
to what it may be for is from cgi.FieldStorage documentation:

  strict_parsing: flag indicating what to do with parsing errors.
      If false (the default), errors are silently ignored.
      If true, errors raise a ValueError exception.

I don't know though what constitutes an error though.

This argument has been there back from mod_python 2.X. If it is never going
to be implemented, is there any point really keeping it in the API?????
