# MultiMatch allows multiple values to be tested at once in a case expression.
# This class is needed since Array does not implement the === operator to mean
# "each v === other.each v". 
#
# This class is useful in situations when the Puppet Type System cannot be used
# (e.g. in Logging, since it needs to be able to log very early in the initialization
# cycle of puppet)
#
# Typically used with the constants
# NOT_NIL
# TUPLE
# TRIPLE
# 
# which test against single NOT_NIL value, Array with two NOT_NIL, and Array with three NOT_NIL
#
