issue if there is one) requesting the feature and describing specific use cases
for it.

If the feature has merit, it will go through a thorough process of API design
and review. Any code should come after this.

   * Here's an outline of the overall design.

   * The map variable contains the collection of values associated with each

   * contain any values for that key, a new collection generated by

 * <p><b>Important:</b> although the first interpretation resembles how most multimaps are
