This functionality is setup so that iteration and overloading work.
For what you want, you should use a sub form, and attach your various
select elements to that subform; that way they will be namespaced and
you can fetch all values as an array.
Another option is to create a custom element that creates all of the
selects; in the subclass set the '_isArray' property true, which will
ensure that the name has the '[]' appended when you pass the values to
the form helpers.
