Yes, though the primary purpose here is to have a method to create a
form-encoded query string internally, exporting it to userspace is just a
"why the heck not" side-effect.

For HTTP/1.0 GET query_strings yes (2048 bytes for HTTP/1.1 GET), but for
POST data (which uses the same form encoding) the length of the query string
is not limited.

Note: I don't have a great deal invested in this, if there's no desire to
use this my heart won't be broken.
