I personally vote this going in as a bug. I find (at least myself) every 2 to 3 forms i build out of say 5, require the use of an array data being passed. I was really surprised this wasn't standard functionality. Thanks for the extension. I look forward to this being standard functionality
This also works with the 'set default values' hack that has been going around for CI's Validation library. I know, it probably doesn't belong there. I just couldn't justify a hole new helper just for one function.
