Although there might be real problems for this, please can you
describe a concrete problem that will occur, in a library people use,
rather than a vague possible problem?

For most framework users, all of the request variables are only
accessed through either a PSR7 request object or their framework
specific equivalent, and the problem of mangling/demangling can be
solved there. So for most people this isn't going to be a problem imo.

Without a clear description of what the problem is, coming up with
solutions is not an effective exercise.

cheers
