class_docstr: A dictionary-like object that is customized to deal with multiple
  values for the same key.
  
  Each value in this dictionary will be a list. Methods which emulate
  the methods of a standard Python ``dict`` object will return or manipulate
  the first items of the lists only. Special methods are provided to
  deal with keys having multiple values.
