I disagree. example.com is the official domain to use
in documentation and the example still shows a numeric
array. Not every domain has multiple addresses, so even
in that regard, the example is still useful.
Anyway, the main point is it returns an array and the
new correct example still demonstrates that. A
compromise would be to show a gethostname example
side by side to show one returns an array while the
other does not. Also, the gethostbyname docs should
mention which ip, if multiple ip's exist, is returned.
