    """Encode a dict or sequence of two-element tuples into a URL query string.

    If any values in the query arg are sequences and doseq is true, each
    sequence element is converted to a separate parameter.

    If the query arg is a sequence of two-element tuples, the order of the
    parameters in the output will match the order of parameters in the
    input.

    The components of a query arg may each be either a string or a bytes type.

    The safe, encoding, and errors parameters are passed down to the function
    specified by quote_via (encoding and errors only if a component is a str).
