  My main concern is that this changes current behavior and as such is not backwards compatible. The rest is a bonus.
  That is why my plan was to make the extractors output (string-)lists as outlined in T8196 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T8196> (this task has been there for quite a while, feedback would have been nice). 
  This way, current behavior can be preserved while also fixing all bugs with multi-value properties.
  If changing this behavior is okay, then you should at least post patches that adapt all clients. I know of Baloo-widgets, Dolphin and Elisa.
  But there will be combinations of frameworks and applications that will not work correctly for multi-value properties.
  What do others think of this? @mgallien?
