in this case, that method *is* useful for me -- i use it as a diagnostic to
see wth is in the field.
we have a current hot malware vector that is genning up some seriously
broken mime, and outlook in its infinite silliness ingests it happily and
gets owned.
sigh... :-)
i don't have to push the key-val pairs to a hash -- that's where the data
loss happens, as the later ones overwrite the earlier ones. i could walk
the array and then do the right thing with duplicates, for some def'n of
the right thing. :-)
spec is quiet on this point, but does say that "order doesn't matter" for
params.
