Currently, in a component's `render`, you can only return one node; if you have, say, a list of `div`s to return, you must wrap your components within a `div`, `span` or any other component.

Don't forget that JSX compiles into regular JS; returning two functions doesn't really make syntactic sense. Likewise, don't put more than one child in a ternary.
