buildQueryString should not force to use brackets around nested properties

• Library Version: aurelia-path 1.1.5

Please tell us about your environment:

• Operating System: Ubuntu

• Node Version: 13.0.1

• NPM Version: 6.12.0

• JSPM OR Webpack AND Version webpack 4.41.2

• Browser: all

• Language: all

Current behavior:

buildQueryString with complex object returns a query string where nested properties (example : author.lastname) are surrounded by square brackets. Exemple : author[lastname].

Expected/desired behavior:

For JS server I guess it is equal, since author.lastname and author["lastname"] are the same, but in Java (and probably in .NET), brackets are only use if the property is indexed (a Map or a List if a number is between the brackets).

• What is the expected behavior?

it would be nice to add a parameter to the buildQueryString method, so the caller can choose a strategy (dot, brackets). dot could even be the default strategy if it makes no difference for JS web servers.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

better compatibility with non JS web servers.
