https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/890

Before:

?gateways=https%3A%2F%2Fserver1.example,https%3A%2F%2Fserver2.example

After:

?@gateway=https%3A%2F%2Fserver1.example&@gateway=https%3A%2F%2Fserver2.example

Query parameters are often used to specify collection filters. The @ prefix will make it clear that gateway parameter is special.

But repeated parameters are allowed by URL (WHATWHG) standard: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlencoded-parsing
