Cast

gollark: The internet connection here is *apiohazardously* bad and I'm forced to `pacman`-update over it.
gollark: I mean, JSON has problems, but it is at least simple and coherent.
gollark: Maybe? Less so for some.
gollark: I was looking at the WHATWG's documentation on application/x-www-form-urlencoded and it says this:> The application/x-www-form-urlencoded format is in many ways an aberrant monstrosity, the result of many years of implementation accidents and compromises leading to a set of requirements necessary for interoperability, but in no way representing good design practices.
gollark: I feel like they could probably just, if it's for array literals, get away with limiting it to 16 or so with no major issues.
