17052	wp_sanitize_redirect() removes square brackets from URL	bluntelk		"The function wp_sanitize_redirect() removes square brackets from URLs.

PHP's functionality with arrays in the URL require square braces, stripping them from the URL means that pages (and plugins) that rely on them fail.

To Reproduce:

{{{
<?php
$url = 'http://example.com/my_url_array[1]=hello+world';
print wp_sanitize_redirect($url);
?>
}}}


Current Output:
http://example.com/my_url_array1=hello+world

Expected Output:
http://example.com/my_url_array[1]=hello+world

Whilst developers should be able to work around this as the function is pluggable I believe this should just work out of the box.
