 The inline docs for get_terms() state that the $taxonomies parameter may
 contain either a string or an array.

 {{{
 @param string|array $taxonomies Taxonomy name or list of Taxonomy names
 }}}

 I've just ran into a situation where this is not the case. The following
 code works fine and should list all children of the term with and id of
 174:


 {{{
 $terms = get_terms( 'category', array( 'child_of' => 174 ) );
 print '<pre>' . print_r( $terms, true ) . '</pre>';
 }}}

 However, if the taxonomies parameter is given in an array, all categories
 will be returned:


 {{{
 $terms = get_terms( array( 'category' ), array( 'child_of' => 174 ) );
 print '<pre>' . print_r( $terms, true ) . '</pre>';
 }}}

 I believe that both examples should produce the same results.

 This behavior can be observed in WordPress 3.1.4 as well as 3.2.
