Why does return value of querystring() contain the ?

[bpanulla]

More of a question than an issue, but why not strip off the question mark character from the value returned by querystring()? I always saw that as more of a delimiter than part of the value. I'll need to strip it off in my code, but is there a reason why the library method couldn't (or more likely shouldn't) do it?
