I agree with Rowan in https://externals.io/message/115642 that http_parse_query() should "mirror http_build_query() as closely as possible", notably: - have a similar signature (except for the first parameter `array|object $data` becoming `string $query` and the return type `string` becoming `array`, of course); - do not do name mangling (and for your question "what should happen to mismatched square brackets?": not sure without an example, but I would say "just keep them as is").
