Good work!  Can you send a test please?

For a given metadata type, you can store either a single value or
several values.  In the single value case, when storing a node you can
specify the metadata value as either a scalar or a listref.  However
when retrieving a node you always get a listref.  I can't remember why
we did it like this, but there was a reason.  There may even have been
discussion.
