Stupid me. Should've read this NEWS.txt

Didn't try but it's the same code as my proposal.

Yep. Is is a standard part if linkVars? I never set it an hesitate to 
add it to linkVars.

That's what I wanted it for, but... as reported it simply did'nt work in 
3.8.0.

I tried (with the added &) to use it as a language switch, but I ran 
into troubles with cHash params, so I use a userFunc unless I find 
another solution (like my proposed addQueryString.removeParams).
