MULTI_KEY_ONLY

public static final MultiKeyMap.CollectionKeyMode MULTI_KEY_ONLY

Default behavior: Collections and Arrays are always unpacked into multi-key lookups. No fallback to treating them as single keys.

MULTI_KEY_FIRST

Try multi-key lookup first, then fallback to collection-as-key lookup if not found. Prioritizes the traditional multi-key behavior.

COLLECTION_KEY_FIRST

public static final MultiKeyMap.CollectionKeyMode COLLECTION_KEY_FIRST

Try collection-as-key lookup first, then fallback to multi-key lookup if not found. Prioritizes treating Collections/Arrays as single keys.
