New description:

 matchspy.h on the matchspy branch contains a !MultiValueCountMatchSpy
 implementation, which allows a document to have multiple values in a
 single slot.  This is definitely a useful feature when implemented
 faceting systems, but the current implementation is a bit unpleasant: it
 uses a pair of public classes to serialise and unserialise lists of values
 to be held in the slots.

 A nicer approach would be to make values capable of storing multiple
 values.  (See bug #198).
