Webpack 2 treats ‘stats’ option inconsistently

What is the current behavior?

If you have a config like this:

module.exports = {
    stats: { modules: false },
    ... other config ...
};

… then Webpack 2 completely ignores the modules: false setting, and displays modules in stats (which it should not).

However, if you change your config to this:

module.exports = [{
    stats: { modules: false },
    ... other config ...
}];

… then it correctly honours the modules: false setting. I don’t think this is by design – you shouldn’t have to declare your config as a single-element array just to make it work, should you?

What is the expected behavior?

Consistency between module.exports = { ... }; and module.exports = [{ ... }]; styles.
