contains pairs of square brackets \code{[]}. For example, the query
\samp{a[i1][j1]=x&b[i1][j1]=y&b[i2][j1]=z} will be parsed as \code{list(a =
list(i1 = list(j1 = 'x')), b = list(i1 = list(j1 = 'y'), i2 = list(j1 =
'z')))} when \code{nested = TRUE}, and \code{list(`a[i1][j1]` = 'x',
`b[i1][j1]` = 'y', `b[i2][j1]` = 'z')} when \code{nested = FALSE}.}
