It appears not.

[cc-ing Henry who is more familiar with the uses of LzParam]

But (optional) encoding when setting the params seems wrong-headed.   
I would think you would want your params to be stored unadulterated,  
and you would call for encoding when converting them to a query  
string.  And presumably you would always want them encoded when  
represented as a query.
