No, multidicts generally conform to the dict interface (mapping a
key to a value) as it's the most useful way to interact with POSTDATA
(or GETDATA for that matter): people will generally map a single value
to each key and having to unpack that value all the time is a pain.

If you want to get all values for the key, as the documentation
indicates[0] you should use the `getlist` method.
