29356	request.GET.getlist default is [] instead of None	JorisBenschop	Paul Grau	"from https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.QueryDict.getlist:
    QueryDict.getlist(key, default=None)¶
    Returns a list of the data with the requested key. Returns an empty list if the key doesn’t exist and a default value wasn’t provided

As far as I know an empty list, [] is not the same as None. should it thus not be rewritten as:
    QueryDict.getlist(key, default=[ ])¶
