        # * The Class object of the parameter type
        # * A single-element Array containing one of the two preceding items. This
        #   will cause Action Service to treat the parameter at that position
        #   as an array containing only values of the given type.
        # * A Hash containing as key the name of the parameter, and as value
        #   one of the three preceding items
