/**
* Represents multiple results from a single attribute extraction.
*
* MultiResult is an aggregate of results that is returned if the ValueExtractor returns multiple results due to a
* reduce operation executed on a hierarchy of values.
*
* It sounds counter-intuitive, but a single extraction may return multiple values when arrays or collections are
* involved.
*
* Let's have a look at the following data structure:
*
* class Swap {
* Leg legs[2];
* }
*
* class Leg {
* String currency;
* }
*
*
* The following extraction of the currency attribute legs[any].currency results in two currencies for each
* Leg. In order to return both values in one result of the extract operation both currencies are returned in a
* single MultiResult object where each result contains a name of the currency.
* It allows the user to operate on multiple "reduced" values as if they were single-values.
*
* Let's have a look at the following queries:
*
* - leg[1].currency = 'EUR'
* - leg[any].currency = 'EUR'
*
*
* In the first query, the extraction will return just one currency, whereas the extraction in the second query will
* return a MultiResult containing two currencies.
* During the evaluation of the "=" equals predicate the MultiResult will be "unfolded" and the condition will
* evaluated against all currencies from the MultiResult. If there is "any" currency that matches the condition the
* whole predicate will be evaluated to "true" and the matching Swap will be returned.
* As a result all Swaps will be returned where there's at lease one Leg with EUR currency.
*
* Other examples:
* legs -> returns one 'single-value' result -> a collection of values
* legs[0] -> returns one 'single result' - a Leg object
* legs[0].currency -> returns one 'multi value' result - an array of Legs
* legs[any] -> returns a MultiResult - that contains a collection of Leg objects
* legs[any].currency -> returns a MultiResult - that contains a collection of String objects
*
* @param type of the underlying result store in the MultiResult
