If parameter names contains "keys" enclosed into angle brackets corresponding array structures are created onto request. For example:

   <input type="person[name]"  value="john doe">
   <input type="person[age]"  value="50">

When submitted will yield to attribute person to request with value ["name"=>"john doe", "age"=>"50"].

Handles also file uploads. For example:

    <form method="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
