-For example, a ruby array like `foo = [1, 2, 3]` can be encoded in the params as `foo[]=1&foo[]=2&foo[]=3`.
-Square brackets can be indexed but can also be empty.
+For example, a ruby array like `foo = [1, 2, 3]` should be encoded in the params as `foo[]=1&foo[]=2&foo[]=3`, with empty square brackets.
