Route parameters are URL-encoded

I'm trying out Lumen and I've written my first route:

$app->get('hello/{name}', function ($name) {
    return "Hello, $name!";
});

The documentation I've read so far doesn't say a word about how the framework approaches HTML-injection so I made a quick test:

http://example.com/hello/<u>café

... which showed up like this:

Hello, %3Cu%3Ecaf%C3%A9!

In other words, route parameters are not URL-decoded when they reach my function. Other frameworks I've tried decode everything for you, just as if you were reading from $_GET.

Is there an issue with my set-up (Apache/2.4, mod_php and mod_rewrite with the default .htaccess bundled with the framework) or that's the expected input?

It's an intentional bug/feature (see Route parameters are URL-encoded #238 for reference). No idea about the rationale behind the design decision.
