Allow array in request data

Hi,
What is the reason for allowing only dicts is request data ?

frappe/frappe/blob/bc0da15d205a3df8d6faa9200344c9128aec4834/frappe/app.py#L298


      
          	import json
          
          	request_data = request.get_data(as_text=True)
          	if request_data and request.is_json:
          		args = json.loads(request_data)
          	else:
          		args = {}
          		args.update(request.args or {})
          		args.update(request.form or {})
          
          	if not isinstance(args, dict):
          		frappe.throw(_("Invalid request arguments"))
          
          	frappe.local.form_dict = frappe._dict(args)
          
          	# _ is passed by $.ajax so that the request is not cached by the browser. So, remove _ from form_dict
          	frappe.local.form_dict.pop("_", None)
          
          
          def handle_exception(e):
          	response = None

Is there anyway to override this behaviour? Or allow some hook before init_request where I can change the create the form dict.

Use case is we have a third party callback which sends the payload as an array
