This code was designed for the three cases groupdb, passdb
and idmap. And I wanted the code to be as simple as
possible. Right now I do not have an application which
would want multi-keys.

What cases do you have in mind here? Do you want to build
ldb on top of this?

I had this code done, but with just integers the code was
considerably simpler than with strings, and code simplicity
in this case was more important for me.
