  # A bunch of crappy behaviors all interacting to create a
  # symphony of failure:
  #
  # 1.) Router helpers do not strip nil query parameters.
  #     iex> ~p"/galleries?#{[gallery: nil]}"
  #     "/galleries?gallery="
  #
  # 2.) Pagination always sets the parameter in the route in order
  #     to preserve the query across multiple pages
  #
  # 3.) When received by the router, an empty param is treated as
  #     an empty string instead of nil
  #
  # 4.) Phoenix.HTML.Form.form_for/2 raises an error if you try to
  #     use it on a conn object which is a string instead of a map
  #     (or nil)
