A new option to strip query parameters from the output filename would be interesting. But its not so simple. When combined with recursion, one will often see a lot of pages with the same name but different query parameters. How should they be stored on disk? There's a couple of different issues I can think of.

However, if the potential issues can be resolved with sane defaults, I think this would be a great new switch to add.

yes, exactly. i think that the option would have to be ignored when doing recursion. or alternatively use the .1 .2 ... method like with all cases where a file of that name already exists.
