yes,

now:
params = cgi.params        # params of query
values = params["name"]    # values of keyword "name" in params
value  = values[0]         # first value of values
value  = values.to_s       # natural.

values = cgi["name"]       # values of keyword "name" in params
value  = values[0]         # first value of values
value  = values.to_s       # natural.

if cgi["name"] return value(String)

value  = cgi["name"]     # value of keyword "name" in params
values = value.to_a      # natural. bat conflict Enumerable#to_a
values = value.values    # ???
values = value.multiple  # ... ... ok??

How about these things?

this means "cgi.name" api?

cgi.params.has_key?("name")  # natural.
cgi.methods.include?(:name)  # ...?

yes, ok.

now:
cgi.params  # == {"name1"=>["value1","value2"], "name2"=>["value1", "value2"]}

use Symbol:
cgi.params  # == {:name1=>["value1","value2"], :name2=>["value1", "value2"]}

bat, this not compatible. not adopt for Ruby1.6

Ruby1.8? Ruby2.0?
