the special string case makes this one awkward. otherwise we'd just use the same replacement we have elsewhere: Array.isArray(val) ? val : [val].

maybe this can be a simple replacement but we basically state something like:

You can use Array.isArray(v) ? v : [v], or Array.from if you're converting non-array iterables to arrays.
