Title: Call `self.write` with a list

`self.write` throws AssertionError if you pass it a list. I found this when trying to return data to a jQuery autocomplete from Tornado. It seems like such a simple fix so I can't help but wonder if this was done on purpose? Is there a reason lists couldn't be passed to write?
