Make requets.bodyParam try decode the returning value too

So people dont have to decode when getting body input - though, are bodies ever encoded? unless done so by the user/dev? if so then this probably isnt needed

[Eric Crooks]

like if it's a Uint8Array?

[Edward Bebbington]

I mean like decodeUriComponent, like how we do for query strings and path params

[Edward Bebbington]

actually they are when body is url encoded, but wonder if parsing the body foes that for us, need to investigate

[Edward Bebbington]

Only encoded when explicitely done by the user/dev, and the fact that bodys can be objects, a N amoutn fo levels deep, it isn't practical for us to try decode the value

function bodyParam(value) {
  const val = this.body[value]
  if (val is a string) return decode(val)
  else loop a gazillion times through each key of the obj

And i'm sure this does happen, but very very rare, so i think we're good to just dismiss this, if that one user who encounters an obejct with encoded data, because a 3rd party dev sent it to them like that, they should decode it imo, because at least THEY'LLL know what keys it has, and just need to decode that
