Problem
-------
This plugin is a helper to receive nested data structures, as it can turn query parameters like
"settings[FOO][BAR]=baz"
into a data structure.
It is used only in the `OpenQA::WebAPI::Controller::API::V1::Table`.
The code removes unsafe characters and creates perl code which is then loaded with `eval`.
Suggestion
----------
1. The code could probably be replaced without `eval`, so we wouldn't need to clean the input.
2. The Table API endpoints could also be changed to accept JSON instead, and we could get rid of the whole module. instead.
