It would likely be worthwhile showing two examples, this one and one with all = true so that address becomes an Array.

this PR fix a mistake, not to enhance the documentation, I can do it but I'm scared that we end up on a very long debate on when to provide examples or not instead of a 5 seconds fix....

I'd like this to land as-is. It has two approvals so it should be land-able. |

@dcharbonnier Ooops, didn't notice that it was the OP that closed it. Uh, yeah, if you'd prefer to close it again, I won't re-open it. |

Rebased and there are no changes, so it looks like this change was handled (probably by another author?) in a different PR. Closing again. Sorry for the noise, everyone. |
