Better API for inflating first-level object keys?

Hi, so an issue was brought up in expressjs/connect-multiparty#11 earlier today. Basically it boils down to a need for a real object conversion API here, I think. I would like to be able to pass in an object and have this library expand out just the keys into a rich object and leave the values alone.

Basically I would like to have something that takes

{
  "user[name]": {"pop[bob]": 3},
  "user[email]": null
}

and gives

{
  "user": {
    "name": {"pop[bob]": 3},
    "email": null
  }
}

and it only looks at the first level keys and does not look down into the objects. I hope I'm making sense, I'm in a rush :)

We rely on the old behavior in https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/blob/master/lib/payload.js#L309 so this is actually a bug.
