I can only tell you that is use them frequently. Personally I don't like 
an "unspecific signature" that just says returns array of arrays to much.

If you want to take it one step further you could wrap it in an image 
object and then go for article.image.file article.image.caption ....

define a transient (not persstable) property for the image object and 
manage(create, access) that inside your getters. If you have write 
access on the object this might need special caution/action, I never 
used this approach in such a context yet.

Greets,
Peter
