See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-10/msg00623.html:

------------------
"Automatic arrayification" isn't about array-valued properties, it's a
convenience feature for creating a bunch of properties with a common
type, accessors and so forth, named in a peculiar way: "foo[0]",
"foo[1]", ...

The feature saves the caller the trouble of generating the names.
That's all there is to it.
