QueryDict objects

In an ``HttpRequest`` object, the ``GET`` and ``POST`` attributes are instances
of ``django.utils.datastructures.MultiValueDict``. ``MultiValueDict`` is a
dictionary-like class customized to deal with multiple values for the same key.

``QueryDict`` instances are immutable, unless you create a ``copy()`` of them.
