Thanks for the proposal - my immediate reaction is that this changes the
programming model in a potentially disruptive way. The function signature
now is dictionary (string->json) in and same type out. This allows
functions to be composed in a sequence because all functions have a uniform
signature. If you admit a different kind of return, the signature of the
function changes. Why stop at array, why not any other type? And how does
composition work in that case?

I'm not saying we shouldn't consider this but rather that it's a bit more
involved.
