+## Compiler check functions `prefix` kwargs accepts arrays
+
+The `prefix` kwarg that most compiler check functions support
+now accepts an array in addition to a string. The elements of the
+array will be concatenated separated by a newline.
+
+This makes it more readable to write checks that need multiple headers
+to be included:
+
+```meson
+cc.check_header('GL/wglew.h', prefix : ['#include <windows.h>', '#include <GL/glew.h>'])
+```
+
+instead of
+
+```meson
+cc.check_header('GL/wglew.h', prefix : '#include <windows.h>\n#include <GL/glew.h>'])
+```
