Is there any reason why the Pike RPC is not returning an array and instead using integer suffixes? ip_addr0, ip_addr1, etc

If it will not break anything I would like to change this behavior.

here is a sample:

{  

   "max_hits":16,

   "ip_addr0":"XX0.5X.X3.1XX",

   "leaf_hits_prev0":51,

   "leaf_hits_curr0":9,

   "expires0":4,

   "status0":"HOT",

   "ip_addr1":"XX8.1X9.8.X7",

   "leaf_hits_prev1":17,

   "leaf_hits_curr1":0,

   "expires1":2,

   "status1":"HOT",

   "number_of_rows":2

}

{

  "max_hits":16,

   "number_of_rows":2,

   "list" :

   [

      {  

         "ip_addr":"XX0.5X.X3.1XX",

         "leaf_hits_prev":51,

         "leaf_hits_curr":9,

         "expires":4,

         "status":"HOT"

      },

      {

         "ip_addr":"XX8.1X9.8.X7",

         "leaf_hits_prev":17,

         "leaf_hits_curr":0,

         "expires":2,

         "status":"HOT"

      }
