### How it works
The `m.buildQueryString` creates a querystring from an object. It's useful for manipulating URLs
```javascript
var querystring = m.buildQueryString({a: 1, b: 2})
// querystring is "a=1&b=2"
```
#### Deep data structures
Deep data structures are serialized in a way that is understood by popular web application servers such as PHP, Rails and ExpressJS
```javascript
var querystring = m.buildQueryString({a: ["hello", "world"]})
// querystring is "a[0]=hello&a[1]=world"
```
