-``foo[bar]=baz`` in a special way as it creates an array. So you can get the
-``foo`` parameter and you will get back an array with a ``bar`` element::
+``foo[bar]=baz`` in a special way as it creates an array. The ``get()`` method
+doesn't support returning arrays, so you need to use the following code::
 
     // the query string is '?foo[bar]=baz'
 
-    $request->query->get('foo');
