Comment:

 Here's the summary of what I came up with:

 - Added utility functions to the `wp.url` namespace object to handle URL
 string manipulations and placed it in `wp-utils.js`.
 - Localized the script to pass an array of parameters to remove from the
 query string.
 - Created a filter for the array of parameters so they can be modified
 outside the main code.
 - Added a global Object `wpUrlParams` that contains a map of the original
 parameters and their values prior to being filtered.

 * Note that the actual URL filter relies on `document.pushState`, which
 isn't supported in IE 9 or lower without a polyfill. Those browsers will
 get access to `wpUrlParams` but not the URL changes, which is current
 behavior.
