I've noticed that the reply format for command messages has changed in
4.2-1. It now returns a list with a dictionary as its only element instead
of just a dictionary and empty list for non-existent commands instead of a
dictionary with error message under 'error' key. I've tested this with
i3-msg and also with sockets in Python (i3-py).

Was this intentional or is it going to change back to how it was before? (I
can't find the commit where this was changed.) In my opinion the previous
reply format was more valuable.
