I stand corrected.  Interesting that it's incorrectly documented.

We're not going to cast objects to array.  So there's no problem.   
We're not running foreach() loops on objects... only on arrays or  
queries that normally return arrays, but may return false (no  
results) instead.

ezSQL isn't going to start returning objects where it used to return  
arrays, so there is no issue of compatibility.
