A separate note about the code: you should avoid "case length(Foo)" when
possible, since length/1 needs to traverse the entire list.  Just
comparing the result to the empty list is probably faster:

case yaws_api:parse_query(A) of
    [] -> false;
    _ -> true
end.

And this can be simplified further:

yaws_api:parse_query(A) /= [].

(There is a difference between my two examples and yours: your code will
crash with badarg if the result is not a proper list, while mine will
just return false.)
