This will sound stupid, but I'm not sure what we want to mean by 
'single'. Should it mean:

a. I'm only interested in the first match (or any match).

b. I'm sure that there will be only one match, so give it to me directly.

If it is (b) we want, then practically the 'single' specification is 
unnecessary at the moment. Because there will be only one element in the 
resulting list and joining it using the empty string will produce the 
same result anyway.

I wanted to reduce the number of features that aim roughly the same 
thing: joiner, single, attribute postprocessor, and extractor 
postprocessor. My reasoning for removing the extractor postprocessor was 
that it did not provide a different context compared to the attribute 
postprocessor. It also had to be executed once for every attribute 
instead of once for every extractor.

That's great. Is there a shortcut for executing a specific test 
directly? Like movieParser.officialsites_parser or even 
movieParser.officialsites_parser_m17?
