Include &v=SOMETHING instead of just ?v=SOMETHING

Closing as wontfix, unless some more skilled in Regex can solve this.

To justify, I know Youtube redirected and re-ordered the URL to have ?v=XYZ first when I tried to have a list ID listed first, and I suspect they do the same elsewhere

On top of that, I don't think most people are typing things in, in different orders. I wager 99% of the time it's copy/paste from the embeds or the website, which Youtube would control.
