function QueryString_ToObj(qs, def) {
		/*
		Purpose
			Used to parse a query string to an array.
		Parameters
			qs (string) = The query string we're working with.
				This may optionally contain a leading question mark (for convenience).
			def (any) = The value assigned to query string elements with no value.
				Examples: Assume def = "abc"
					"?name&age=25" returns { name: "abc", age: "25" }
					"?name=&age=25" returns { name: "abc", age: "25" }
				Default if undefined: null
		Return (object)
			Returns an object containing all elements in the specified query string as properties of the object.
			If a query string element with the same name is specified more than once, 
				the corresponding object property is an array containing each corresponding value.
				Example: "?firstname=russ&firstname=sue&lastname=smith" returns {firstname: ["russ", "sue"], lastname: "smith"}
			If an element has no value assigned, it returns the specified default value (def).
				Example: assume def = null: "?newuser" returns {newuser: null}
				Example: assume def = null: "?newuser=" returns {newuser: null}
				Example: assume def = '': "?newuser" returns {newuser: ''}
			Returns an empty object if:
				- The specified query string contains only whitespace, or
				- The specified query string is not a string.
			All element values are properly unescaped.
		Notes
			You can determine the total number of elements returned using this code:
				Count = Object.keys(MyQueryString).length;
			You can determine if an element is an array with this code:
				if (Object.prototype.toString.call(MyQueryString['names']) === '[object Array]') { // Element is an array }
			You can determine if an element is a string with this code:
				if (Object.prototype.toString.call(MyQueryString['names']) === '[object String]') { // Element is a string }
