Description Mathias Bynens 2013-05-02 07:45:49 UTC 
Currently, `getMediaProperty` takes an array as its first argument. My suggestion is to make it accept strings too, in case only a single property is to be retrieved.

The spec lists examples like:

    resource.getMediaProperty(["title"], successCallback, errorCallback);

With this change, this could become:

    resource.getMediaProperty("title", successCallback, errorCallback);

IMHO, this makes the API more user-friendly for the common case where only a single property is retrieved.

The array syntax could still be used, but is only really needed when more than one property is requested.
