I disagree. example.com is the official domain to use in documentation and the example still shows a numeric array. Not every domain has multiple addresses, so even in that regard, the example is still useful. Anyway, the main point is it returns an array and the new correct example still demonstrates that. A compromise would be to show a gethostname example side by side to show one returns an array while the other does not. Also, the gethostbyname docs should mention which ip, if multiple ip's exist, is returned.
