The brackets combine multiple columns into a single field or attribute - so the 
example below combines both first_name and last_name into a single field called 
name.

  indexes [first_name, last_name], :as => :name

Whereas the next example just creates two fields, from the appropriate columns 
- first_name and last_name:
  indexes first_name, last_name

I really should add the former to the official docs - thanks for pointing out 
the inconsistency.

Cheers
