[wp-testers] A Question About 2.7/2.8 argument system

[Paul Robinson]

So does WP have a check that differensiates between an array value & query
string value I dunno say something like this:

if(is_array($arg))
  extract($arg);
else
  parse_str($arg);

that way whether an array or a query string is passed it extracts the
correct variables from the arguments provided?

Paul.
