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

 * Simple Example:
 * 
{@code
 * @GET("/list")
 * Call<ResponseBody> list(@Query("page") int page);
 * }
 * Calling with {@code foo.list(1)} yields {@code /list?page=1}.
 * 
 * Example with {@code null}:
 * 
{@code
 * @GET("/list")
 * Call<ResponseBody> list(@Query("category") String category);
 * }
 * Calling with {@code foo.list(null)} yields {@code /list}.
 * 
 * Array/Varargs Example:
 * 
{@code
 * @GET("/list")
 * Call<ResponseBody> list(@Query("category") String... categories);
 * }
 * Calling with {@code foo.list("bar", "baz")} yields
 * {@code /list?category=bar&category=baz}.
 * 
 * Parameter names and values are URL encoded by default. Specify {@link #encoded() encoded=true}
 * to change this behavior.
 * 
{@code
 * @GET("/search")
 * Call<ResponseBody> list(@Query(value="foo", encoded=true) String foo);
 * }
 * Calling with {@code foo.list("foo+bar"))} yields {@code /search?foo=foo+bar}.
