Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 This introduces a change which now throws notices when $handle is an
 array. Of course, the wp_enqueue_script and wp_enqueue_style functions are
 not documented to accept arrays, they may be (and have been) used as such
 -- even by at least one of the most popular plugins on wordpress.org.

 Up until earlier this month in the trunk commit for 4.2 [31028], the
 unintended consequences of calling the following code were that multiple
 handles could be enqueued at once. Documentation in code and in codex says
 it's a string, but it threw no notices or errors, or doing it wrong's.

 {{{
 wp_enqueue_script( array( 'jquery', 'etc', 'etc2' ) );
 }}}

 With that, should a new ticket be opened up to add documented support for
 array as $handle in wp_enqueue_script and wp_enqueue_style, or would this
 ticket need to have a new patch applied which at minimal removes the
 notice that's introduced in 4.2 for undocumented use of arrays?
