Class MetaItem

object --+
         |
        MetaItem

is a collection of homogenous MetaValues.

All MetaValues within a MetaItem have the same key.

A MetaItem contains a list of children MetaValues; it is usually constructed with just one MetaValue, though. Use the alternative constructor formSequence if you already have a sequence of MetaValues. Or, better, use the ensureMetaItem utility function.

The last added MetaValue is the "active" one that will be changed on _addMeta calls.
