As a background for those unfamiliar with the need arisen in arXiv is the need 
to bundle together several elements of a MARCXML element that's like a history 
of the document put in MARC.  there will be two fields that should be looked 
at.  And without a custom index, there would be a lot of false positives to 
parse through.

We store this history in 950 $h, 950 $i, and 950 $j.  But only two of them are 
used.  There will be many 950 elements with $h, $i, and $j for each "row" of 
update history.  The idea is that if

950 $i = FOO
        $j = 03/24/2012

950 $i = BAZ
        $j = 03/24/2012

And we do a search for FOO 03/24/2012.  It would match both records, and I'd 
have to do further parsing to really gett the one I wanted.  HOwever, I could 
create a compound index that would eliminate the need for all the parsing.
