If you're expecting "exactly one result", then surely it should be an error to receive more than one result? Rather than ask for "any" result and ignoring any unexpected extra items, I think it would be better to have a helper function that verifies you have got exactly one result.

Yes, that could be useful. Maybe call it "one"? -- Greg
