Re: [whatwg/url] URLSearchParams inconsistent behavior with multiple same-name parameters leads to data loss on backend (Issue #889)

I apologize, I was wrong to mention Axios as a ready-made solution - it itself requires additional tools to work with PHP.

**Example with Axios + qs:**
```js
import qs from 'qs';

const api = axios.create({
  paramsSerializer: params => qs.stringify(params, {arrayFormat: 'brackets'})
});

// Request with array and object
api.get('/api', {
  params: {
    categories: ['books', 'movies'],  // array
    filters: {                        // object
      price: {min: 100, max: 500},
      inStock: true
    }
  }
});
// Result: categories[]=books&categories[]=movies&filters[price][min]=100&filters[price][max]=500&filters[inStock]=true
```

**The same example in jQuery:**
```js
$.get('/api', {
  categories: ['books', 'movies'],    // array
  filters: {                          // object
    price: {min: 100, max: 500},
    inStock: true
  }
});
// Result: categories[]=books&categories[]=movies&filters[price][min]=100&filters[price][max]=500&filters[inStock]=true
```

jQuery really does handle this task excellently "out of the box," which is not surprising - it's one of the most popular libraries, created during the heyday of PHP. However, in new projects, jQuery is often considered an outdated solution.
