that's what we are trying and discussing about: if the get(post)_vars 
should depend on GET and POST request method or if they are aliases for 
"parsed_query_string" (get_vars) and "parsed_body_string" (post_vars). 

The fact is, in the 90% of the cases they practically overlap. Most of the 
users are using request.vars unconditionally, so less and less code will 
eventually brake. But we need to make a decision and live with the 
consequences ^_^ (I'm hearing right now the next blogpost saying "web2py's 
shitty naming convention for variables...")
