I'm not a fan of this since currently getQueryParamValue can parse *either* the hash or the query string value for name/value pairs. If we always put the hash into an 'anchor' var, you would lose that ability.
I think users that are doing very complicated stuff with this are probably just using SWFAddress or something similar to manage their browser state anyway and probably don't care about this stuff. * as an aside, someone should check and see if any other libraries depend on getQueryParamValue to make sure we don't break them if we make changes to this.
