compact() is nice when you have multiple parameters, but not really if you have 
just one. 

i guess i didnt mention how i came to this proposal. the issue is that in 
FOSRestBundle if i set parameters which can either used for html or json/xml 
output it sucks to be forced to wrap everything in an array just to make the 
template engine happy. 

my suggestion would solve the issue. but it would imho also be more elegant and 
efficient for the non FOSRestBundle case, which os why i suggested it out of 
this context.

Lukas
