val route =
  formFieldMap { fields =>
    def formFieldString(formField: (String, String)): String =
      s"""${formField._1} = '${formField._2}'"""
    complete(s"The form fields are ${fields.map(formFieldString).mkString(", ")}")
  }

// tests:
Post("/", FormData("color" -> "blue", "count" -> "42")) ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "The form fields are color = 'blue', count = '42'"
}
Post("/", FormData("x" -> "1", "x" -> "5")) ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "The form fields are x = '5'"
}
