The reader could return a multidict. If you know it's a multidict you an access the 'discarded' values. Otherwise, it appears just like the dict that we have today. A middle ground between people that don't want the interface changed and those who want to get the multiple values. Personally, I prefer code that raises exceptions when it gets unreasonable input, and I think duplicate field names qualifies. But if that's the the general sentiment than a multidict is a potential compromise.
