That one is a different problem!
Currently, in the framework, it is only orm.read() that will return a different 
type of result if you call it with int(id) or list(ids) ..
And browse(), of course, but that had been *designed* to work that way from 
the very start.

If you are talking about other, custom methods, that is a responsibility of 
those who define them. If you need an analytic.calc_something(cr, uid, id|ids, 
..), you should clearly define if you prefer an integer or a list there. And, 
please, have the same type of result.
