+Disabling arity checks affects the form of messages at encode/decode.
+In particular, decoded AVPs are represented as lists of values,
+regardless of the AVP's arity (ie. expected number in the message/AVP
+grammar in question), and values are expected to be supplied as lists
+at encode.
+This differs from the historic decode behaviour of representing AVPs
+of arity 1 as bare values, not wrapped in a list.</p>
