well right now you can only store "ordered lists".
especially in PHP its common to use associative arrays

$var = array(
  'foo' => 'bar',
  'ding' => 'dong',
)

right now when I want to store such data in JCR/Jackarabbit I need to split 
this into 2 multi valued properties, one with the values and one with the keys, 
which then need to be reassembled on read.

that being said .. if we want to add this in OAK, we should look into adding it 
into JCR 2.1 aka JSR-333 too
