 Replying to [comment:16 johnbillion]:
 > Could we go one step further and return an error when attempting to
 schedule an event with arguments that are not an array? What might the
 impact be?

 If we did that, plugins that are attempting to schedule events with non-
 array arguments would start failing to have their jobs scheduled when
 sites running them are upgraded to 6.9, we'd fill some error logs, and
 eventually force-educate across the plugin ecosystem.

 In my opinion, I'd rather not inconvenience site operators & hosts for
 something WordPress itself did not previously prevent from happening,
 especially for something as small as a type check, but I am open to
 refreshing the patch if a different consensus happens.
