+- **`sdp.params_get(params, key)`** — re-exported at the top level as the
+  inner companion to `sdp.attr_get` / `sdp.attrs_get`. Looks up a value by

+  `true` for a bare flag, or `nil`). Previously reachable only via
+  `parse_sdp.grammar.base.params_get`; that path still works. Note the
+  argument shape differs from `attr_get`: `params_get` takes the inner
+  list (`fmtp.params`), not the block.

+Look up a value in an ordered param list by key — the inner companion to
+`attr_get` / `attrs_get`. `a=fmtp` and `a=privacy` carry their key/value
+pairs as an ordered `params` list (input order preserved for byte-faithful
+round-trip); `params_get` returns the value for `key`, or `nil` when
+absent. A bare flag (a key with no `=value`) has `true` as its value.
+
+**Note the argument shape:** unlike `attr_get`, which takes a *block*,
+`params_get` takes the **inner list directly** — `fmtp.params`, not the
+`fmtp` attribute table. Param lists have no wrapping object, so there is
+nothing block-like to pass. nil-safe: a `nil` list yields `nil`.

+## 1.5.0 — params_get top-level re-export
+
+Follow-up consumer note (the lnmos nmos/sdp.lua layer): 1.4.0 promoted the
+outer attribute accessors to the public module but left `params_get` (the
+inner `a=fmtp` / `a=privacy` lookup) reachable only via
+`parse_sdp.grammar.base`. That left the inner companion as the odd one out,
+forcing consumers to cross into a grammar internal mid-task. Re-exporting it
