Bug description:Issue in automatic $_POST array handling

Description:
------------
Php automatically puts POSTed name-value pairs with names ending in [] into
arrays. Very handy feature! However, I notice issues when more of those
square brackets are encountered. 

If I send a name like `save[line[]]`, then `save` will be an array and the
first key in it will be `line[`, instead of `line[]`. It's not that I
expect a second level of arrays - just that it doesn't strangely remove
that last bracket. 

So suppose we have the tiny php script below, and I send this with e.g.
jquery:
post_data = {'save[line[]]':'A line with text'}

Effectively, the raw POST data being sent is:
save%5Bline%5B%5D%5D=A+line+with+text

Test script:
---------------
print_r(
   $_POST['save']
);

Expected result:
----------------
POST: Array
(
    [line[]] => A line with text
)

Actual result:
--------------
POST: Array
(
    [line[] => A line with text
)
