h7lin 8fb711e06c doc: fix default value of opts.decodeURIComponent
In the documentation for querystring.parse, the documentation mentions
that the default value for options.decodeURIComponent is the
decodeURIComponent function, but it's actually the querystring.unescape
function.

Query String

Stability: 2 - Stable

This module provides utilities for dealing with query strings. It provides the following methods:

querystring.stringify(obj[, sep][, eq][, options])

Serialize an object to a query string. Optionally override the default separator ('&') and assignment ('=') characters.

Options object may contain encodeURIComponent property (querystring.escape by default), it can be used to encode string with non-utf8 encoding if necessary.

Example:

querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' })
// returns
'foo=bar&baz=qux&baz=quux&corge='

querystring.stringify({foo: 'bar', baz: 'qux'}, ';', ':')
// returns
'foo:bar;baz:qux'

// Suppose gbkEncodeURIComponent function already exists,
// it can encode string with `gbk` encoding
querystring.stringify({ w: '中文', foo: 'bar' }, null, null,
  { encodeURIComponent: gbkEncodeURIComponent })
// returns
'w=%D6%D0%CE%C4&foo=bar'

querystring.parse(str[, sep][, eq][, options])

Deserialize a query string to an object. Optionally override the default separator ('&') and assignment ('=') characters.

Options object may contain maxKeys property (equal to 1000 by default), it'll be used to limit processed keys. Set it to 0 to remove key count limitation.

Options object may contain decodeURIComponent property (querystring.unescape by default), it can be used to decode non-utf8 encoding string if necessary.

Example:

querystring.parse('foo=bar&baz=qux&baz=quux&corge')
// returns
{ foo: 'bar', baz: ['qux', 'quux'], corge: '' }

// Suppose gbkDecodeURIComponent function already exists,
// it can decode `gbk` encoding string
querystring.parse('w=%D6%D0%CE%C4&foo=bar', null, null,
  { decodeURIComponent: gbkDecodeURIComponent })
// returns
{ w: '中文', foo: 'bar' }

querystring.escape

The escape function used by querystring.stringify, provided so that it could be overridden if necessary.

querystring.unescape

The unescape function used by querystring.parse, provided so that it could be overridden if necessary.
