Ah, yeah, good catch.  Actually any approach which let you access
query parameters as methods would have that problem -- behind the
scenes, every uniquely named method introduces a symbol.  This is
even a potential issue for approaches using method_missing, since
in MRI, rb_call wants an ID (normally obtained via rb_to_id).
