Right you are, sorry for the mental blunder. So what if the signature is as
follows to support passing query parameters via an ordered dict:

add_query_params(url, params_dict=None, **kwargs)

with the following behaviour:

>>> pd = odict()
>>> pd['a'] = 1
>>> pd['b'] = 2
>>> add_query_params('http://foo.com/?a=0', pd, a=3)
'http://foo.com/?a=0&a=1&b=2&a=3'
