# Create a "true" inverse hash by storing mutliple values in Arrays.

# h = {"a"=>3, "b"=>3, "c"=>3, "d"=>2, "e"=>9, "f"=>3, "g"=>9}
#
# h.invert #=> {2=>"d", 3=>"f", 9=>"g"}
# h.inverse #=> {2=>"d", 3=>["f", "c", "b", "a"], 9=>["g", "e"]}
# h.inverse.inverse #=> {"a"=>3, "b"=>3, "c"=>3, "d"=>2, "e"=>9, "f"=>3, "g"=>9}
