Documentation Updated https://docs.joomla.org/Retrieving_request_data_using_JInput
The PHP doc blocks should be updated in the Joomla\CMS\Input\Input and Joomla\Input\Input classes to reflect that Joomla\Filter\InputFilter can return arrays, it's not only the docs wiki that needs this update.
The filter API supports being given an array and applying the selected filter to all elements within it. So, the input API behavior is correct.
