Description
Hi,
It seems that formparams omits array-types even though the input name specifically represents an array:
Given the following html:
``` html
```
The following happens currently:
``` javascript
$("#test-form").formParams()
-> { foo: "bar" }
```
But what should happen is:
``` javascript
$("#test-form").formParams()
-> { foo: ["bar"] }
```

Research direction
Start at the $.formParams() entry point and trace how input names ending in [] are converted into the returned object. Reproduce the HTML example from the issue, then verify that the result preserves foo as an array containing "bar" rather than a single value.
