Right.

I would still return a list for a single item, because it makes the code
more consistent (e.g. you can do "\n".join(outputitems)). But if we go down
that route, I'll probably serialise the list as JSON and store it in single
rows - then the input and output tables can still be connected using SQL
join, rather than some fancy Python logic.
