Public bug reported:

In the latest documentation examples, the first example has an apparent
error on line 14.

http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/examples.html

```
# Add users to the system. Users are added after groups are added.
users:
  - default
  - name: foobar
    gecos: Foo B. Bar
    primary-group: foobar
    groups: users
```

It shows that a string is an acceptable value for the `groups` key.  On
line 23, it shows another string with comma-separated values.  Both of
these values cause errors.  The `groups` key requires an array, even if
there is only one value. This is implied at line 109, but not explicitly
stated.

Please fix?

thanks!

Sunil
