PageRenderLinkSource should provide an "addParameter(String, Object)" method 
that uses ValueEncoder to coerce the Object to string automatically

                 Key: TAP5-1494
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1494
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.3
            Reporter: Robert Zeigler
            Priority: Minor


Currently, PageRenderLinkSource provides an "addParameter(String, String)" 
object.  This is nice for allowing the fullest control over what ultimately is 
placed into the URL, but it is not uncommon to have something along the lines 
of:

ValueEncoderSource encoderSource;
...
link.addParameter("myparam", 
encoderSource.getValueEncoder(MyClass.class).toClient(myvalue));

It would be nice for PageRenderLinkSource to have an "addParameter(String, 
Object)" method in addition to the addParameter(String, String) method.  Users 
needing absolute control of the way parameters appear would retain that 
control, and the rest of us can write less code.
