Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 @circuitbit this is a great point. In WordPress we use v4 of the JSON
 Schema ''except'' for `required` where we use the v3 syntax. This syntax
 is nice to work with for core because we do a lot of conditional
 adding/removing of properties as well as the addition of new properties
 through things like additional properties and metadata. The simpler
 boolean syntax allows the requiredness of the property to be entirely
 communicated through one array definition instead of having to modify the
 base schema.

 That being said,. I do think supporting the array format would be quite
 nice, particularly for cases where you are documenting a single `object`
 property on a schema, as opposed to the schema for the entire resource. I
 think we could add support for that syntax in the patch for this feature.
