Problem with _sf_ and requests [message #17864]

This isn't really a bug, but it is kind of a problem.

The issue comes in with plugin development using a certain notation, namely prefixing with sfXXX.

Here's an example:
Suppose I have sfDirectoryList and sfDirectoryEntry, with the joining class being sfDirectoryListEntry.

Also suppose that I want to add entries to a directory when I'm editing it

- snip from generator.yml -

...
      display:
        "NONE":       [name, description]
        "Entries":    [ sf_directory_entrys ]
...

      fields:
        ...
        sf_directory_entrys:
          name: Entries
          type: admin_double_list 
          params: 
            through_class:  sfDirectoryListEntry

Everything works as expected, until I add some entries to the directory and save.

The generated field name for the multi-select box holding the selected entries is 'associated_sf_directory_entrys'.

Now, the sfWebRequest object calls loadParameters(), which parses through the variable names and isolates 'symfony' parameters, moving them from the symfony/default namespace to symfony/request/sfWebRequest.

This, of course, causes $this->getRequestParameter() to fail in the action when it tries to save the many to many association.

I'm not saying this is a bug or anything, but does anyone have a way around this?

Thanks.
