Null Array Parameter is persisted as an Array containing a single element, which is null

[NicoKiaru]

I have a command with a non-required array parameter:

	@Parameter(label = "Select Bvv Windows to synchronize", required = false)
	BvvHandle[] bvvhs;

Before, when nothing was set, bvvhs was returned as a null object. Now, when bvvhs is not set, the parameter is set to an array of size 1, with the element being a null object.

It's a change of behaviour which breaks a few things in my code. It's probably manageable, but the current behaviour needs to be changed:

return null is fine, returning an empty array is probably also fine, but returning a one-element array with null inside do not look good.

FYI, I checked in the prefs how the parameter is remembered, and this is how it looks:

I think it should be:

It does not look like a critical issue, but it might pop here and there
