Description

I expect, that $request->query() get values only from query string.
It works with POST requests, but with GET requests $request->merge() appends data to $request->query() too.

Steps To Reproduce

$testQuery = function (Request $request) {
  $request->merge(['test' => 'value']);
  dd($request->query(), $request->input());
};
Route::get('/test_query', $testQuery);
Route::post('/test_query', $testQuery);

result for POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/test_query?query_str is correct:

result for GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/test_query?query_str is unexpected
