    Agree this case is surprising.  It was ugly in your example that where a 
method takes a one-arg list i have to pass `[[ "value" ]]` rather than `[ value 
]`.
    
    I suggest either changing the logic, both in the `try` and once the method 
is retrieved, so that either:
    * if the first pass fails, i.e. we are unable to match the items in a list 
against any method's parameters, we try again looking for a `method(Iterable)` 
(this will do the right thing in more cases, ie for `foo(List)`, we will accept 
`foo: [ arg ]` *or* `foo: [[ arg ]]`; it is only in the case we want a 
`foo(List<List>)` that a user has to take care, and in that case they must do 
`foo: [ [[ arg ]] ]`, which we should document.
    * we *always* prefer a one-parameter method, if `option.getValue()` is 
coercible to that parameter type (however this means you must *not* doubly-wrap 
lists)
    
    Probably the former is better as it gives preference to multi-argument 
methods which are less ambiguous.  Make sure you add a test for both the `[ 
list ]` and `[[ list ]]` cases!
    
    In any case this is a nice feature and nice job with tricky logic.  I've 
wanted to pass more complex types here before so I'm glad it's now supported.
    
    I also agree with the importance of documenting this in the locations 
markdown.  You will see instances there where I describe YAML notation (where 
`templateOptions` are set in a blueprint) in addition to properties file.
