That's a pattern I learned a long time ago. It's much more future-proof to treat items as an array, even if it seems over-engineering at first, because scope-creep dictates it's more likely you are going to handle more items in the future, not fewer. And dealing with one item vs. many can change your architecture pretty drastically.
