Hey,

Rack  is great.

I found a small issue, that took me quite a while to uncover though:

In parse_query and normalize_params there is a special case when a param starts and ends with " or '. And it removes them. What is the reasoning behind this?

app?q="a"      -->  {"q"=>"a"}   instead of {"q"=>"\"a\""}

eg. compare to google, searching for "funny quotes"

There is even a test case for this behaviour, which I found oddly surprising.

Thanks!
