Bug description:  overriding of GET and POST variables

The what some people consider a feature of having a same named form element
only keeping the last item is data lost to me.

The array method (foo.php?a[]=1&a[]=2&a[]=3
) is not peferable to have the html templates cross compatible.

There needs to be a mechanism to access these items. With keeping the
status quo for the people that like this effect, why not create another
global which is a hash of a hash so the duplicated named items are lost.
Currently I have written a class to do this all but getting access to
multipart variables seems to be harder. (especially when also doing file
uploading)

eg:

foo.php?a=1&a=2&a=3&b=ten&c=eleven

$_GET_HASH["a"] = array("1","2","3")
$_GET_HASH["b"] = "ten"
$_GET_HASH["c"] = "eleven"

same effect if a form had been posted
$_POST_HASH["a"] = array("1","2","3")
$_POST_HASH["b"] = "ten"
$_POST_HASH["c"] = "eleven"
with $_FILES still accessable like normal
