Sure, I just ended up doing that.

Would it be worth creating a ticket, or am I seriously the first person to want this?

Given that AMPList doesn't use a length prefix (it uses null-key box-termination, just like the rest of the protocol) the representation would be exactly the same.  Just add a trivial wrapper that uses AMPList, unpacks its argument, and assert that there's only one of them?
