A bookmarklet that enhances the ArcGIS REST query page with various quality-of-life changes.
- Field names are now selected via a multi-option select element rather than requiring the user to type a comma-separated list of field names that they have to look up themselves.
- Gives the user the option of not setting query parameters that they don't need.

- Similarly, "true" and "false" radio buttons gain a third option which allows the user to leave the setting unset rather than be forced to choose a value.

- Submitting the form will now open the results in a new browser tab rather than replacing the current one.
- Adds a reset button to the form.
- Spatial Reference input changes (
