Fixes an inconsistency outlined in #39 where a KV `get` call returns an array if >1 value is returned, but if one value is returned it strips away the metadata and hands back the raw value. While this is a friendly thing to do in some cases, it creates a very annoying inconsistency when doing a recursive `get` which leaves out the metadata (most importantly the key of the returned value) as well as requiring the consumer to check whether the return value of `get` is a String or Array.

Closing in favor for #51 |
