key, startkey, endkey query args passed to list function as strings, not JSON
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-338
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: trunk @769507
            Reporter: Andy Skelton
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: query_to_json_terms.diff

In list function, req.query.[key|startkey|endkey] are strings such as "[\"foo\"]" instead of JSON such as ["foo"]. When constructing paging URLs using req.query.endkey, this argument is escaped once for each page traversal. The paging continues to work, but the URLs get longer and longer:
endkey=["cat",null]
endkey="[\"cat\",null]"
endkey="\"[\\\"cat\\\",null]\""

Attached patch applies ?JSON_DECODE to these query arguments.
