Current apple documentation says nothing about using "openFiles" instead 
of "openFile". Furthermore they state "Tells the delegate to open 
multiple files.". Multiple for me means > 1. So, at least, it is 
confusing and by reading the spec I would understand to implement both 
methods and expect the latter do be called only by more files. This is 
why I had implemented the special case last week, out of the 
documentation. But of course only a test will do.
