+1 as a PHP user. For BC, I guess this should go without changing the
current precedence rules too, annoying though it might be.

At the moment: "?a_b=foo&a.b=bar" gives $_GET === array('a_b' =>
'bar')
As I understand it with this proposal: "?a_b=foo&a.b=bar" would give
$_GET === array('a_b' => 'bar', 'a.b' => 'bar')

It would be nicer for it not to lose the original assignment (a_b =>
foo) though, perhaps via an INI setting.
