db.view encodes start_key / startkey and end_key / endkey params differently

[blakew]

I have a composite key view aka key = [id, 0], [id, 1], .... When I use the start_key alias (with underscore), the uri encoding is incorrect. startkey passes the correct encoding.

    db.view(designdoc, viewname, {
        start_key: [req.params.id],
        end_key: [req.params.id, {}],
        include_docs: true,
    }, callback);

(incorrectly) encodes to start_key[0]=id&end_key[0]=id which in fact returns all documents in the view.

    db.view(designdoc, viewname, {
        startkey: [req.params.id],
        endkey: [req.params.id, {}],
        include_docs: true,
    }, callback);

(correctly) encodes to startkey=[id]&endkey=[id, {}] and returns the correct documents.
