permit do not work properly when value is array

[WaKeMaTTa]

Expected behaviour

Expected to return the permitted params.

params.require(:post).permit([:title, :body])

# Result:
{"title" => "My title", "body" => "My description"}

Actual behaviour

Instead of the expected behaviour i got an empty hash.

params.require(:post).permit([:title, :body])

# Result:
{}

Workarround

Adding * before array it works.

params.require(:post).permit(*[:title, :body])

# Result:
{"title" => "My title", "body" => "My description"}
