Comment (by drakej):
I'm not sure how that's required. This isn't a bug but rather a limitation
that I'm hoping can be fixed as a new feature.
If you iterate over request.POST, I'm expecting that __getitem__ can
handle giving me a list or a scalar depending on what was sent in the form
data. Right now I have to know the actual key in order to extract the
given key as a list so I don't end up with the last item in it.
The other alternative I have is to run getlist() on every single key and
then iterate over scalars as if they are lists which just adds unneeded
overhead. I guess I could also roll out my own request data parser to
replace QueryDict, but it seems like this should be core functionality
that QueryDict can get right itself.
