In Get method, for getting params, use context::FormValues or context::URLParams?

[zheeeng]

In most cases, they are equivalent. But for some API contains params array, for example:

https://api.example.com/books?id=123&id=3435

pick id from context::FormValues, we get []string{"123", "3435"},
pick id from context::URLParams, we get "123,3435"

Should we always use context::FormValues to get params instead of using context::URLParams for all cases?

URLParams gives a map[string]string, FormValues gives a string slice as you correctly pointed out, we can't change how these two are working( we don't want to introduce such a breaking change) but we can document the changes of these two better if you think that will help users, although I recommend use of FormValues for values that will going to be saved somewhere or used for authentication and etc. and use of URLParams to get things like ?referer= or ?id= which should be only one value per key. Tell me what are you thinking and we can make it happen.

Irrelevant, but, did you check my response on #1165 (comment) ?

I agree to document these suggestions.

I'm refactoring some codes with your example in #1165 (comment), and will post the progress soon at that issue.

You know why I didn't document these basics things? because net/http works the same way for form values and url params too, so I am thinking if we have to document so basic things we have to document more things too... hmm
