On second thought, I'm not sure we should change the current behavior. 
Currently, request.vars.some_field and form.vars.some_field reflect the 
data returned by the form. If the same field name appears multiple times in 
the submitted form data, all the values go into a list -- otherwise, just a 
single value is associated with the field. request.vars and form.vars are 
not intended to replicate the data types of DAL database models, as not all 
forms are associated with DAL models. Anyway, if you want to pursue 
changing the current behavior, maybe open a discussion on the developers 
list, as this probably requires some thought (could break backward 
compatibility).
