Decoding in parse() applied too late

[Mereidos]

The decoding that takes place in parse() happens too late, leading to encoded '?', '&' and '=' signs not being interpreted correctly:

VERSION:
6.13.1

ACTUAL RESULT:
parse(?key1=value1&key2=value2) returns: {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}
parse(%3Fkey1%3Dvalue1%26key2%3Dvalue2) returns: {"?key1=value1&key2=value2":null}

EXPECTED RESULT:
parse(?key1=value1&key2=value2) returns: {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}
parse(%3Fkey1%3Dvalue1%26key2%3Dvalue2) returns: {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}
