Comment:

 From a design standpoint we've tried to make any list-style query
 parameter (include, exclude, categories, etc) behave the same... in this
 regard I agree that "slug" is the odd one out, because it is a filtering
 query that returns an array, but does not accept multiple values. I'm in
 favor of the change, as the benefit to clients is significant and the
 query overhead within WP should be significantly less of a burden than the
 HTTP latency or query overhead of making multiple requests in parallel or
 sequence
