/**
 * Named pair for a form-encoded request.
 * 
 * Values are converted to strings using {@link String#valueOf(Object)} and then form URL encoded.
 * {@code null} values are ignored. Passing a {@link java.util.List List} or array will result in a
 * field pair for each non-{@code null} item.
 * 

 * Simple Example:
 * 
 * @FormUrlEncoded
 * @POST("/")
 * void example(@Field("name") String name, @Field("occupation") String occupation);
 * }
 * 
 * Calling with {@code foo.example("Bob Smith", "President")} yields a request body of
 * {@code name=Bob+Smith&occupation=President}.
 * 
 * Array Example:
 * 
 * @FormUrlEncoded
 * @POST("/list")
 * void example(@Field("name") String... names);
 * 
 * Calling with {@code foo.example("Bob Smith", "Jane Doe")} yields a request body of
 * {@code name=Bob+Smith&name=Jane+Doe}.
