FastMultiHashMap, BidiMultiHashMap

Hi!

This probably rather belongs to the developer's mailing list but is there any 
particular reason why there is no FastMultiHashMap and BidiMultiHashMap?

Bidi map should be created in a plugable manner (decorator, ...). BTW You 
cannot apply type-safe decorator to MultiMap.

to the double checked locking problem, see comments in the class

because writing Bidi maps is fiendishly complicated, and there are many 
other possible bidi maps that _coul_ be created (thus only the simple basic 
ones are provided)
