If we're counting hands, it's a bug. This change broke a lot of my
code and has no built-in work-around like ".list" to make getting
around it easy.

Hi Andy,
I've mentioned and poked at this several times since around
November, when TT 2.16 came out and produced this problem.
I'd like, if possible, an official response on whether this is a) a
bug, and will be fixed (eventually), or b) a feature, in which case
please tell me the workaround.
The short description is: If my TT code calls a method that should
return a list of objects, and only gets one, it helpfully de-
listifies. This is fine except when I wanted to loop around the
result, which treats the single object as a hash and gives me the
key/value pairs.
For a better description see: http://template-toolkit.org/pipermail/
templates/2006-November/009115.html
For the patch with TEST I sent, see:
http://template-toolkit.org/pipermail/templates/2006-November/
009115.html
This fixed it for the perl stash, someone else will need to poke
the XS one..
Where it's turning up is in the SQL::Translator tests, which fail
for all TT versions > 2.15.. I added a skip to ignore them if TT ==
2.16, but that has now started failing since subsequent releases
still have the bug/feature.
Thanks,
Jess
