As noted here, https://git.vdb.to/cerc-io/laconicd/src/branch/main/gql/util.go#L294, arrays (eg, repeated fields in protobuf) are not handled at all when processing GQL queries.

So if a record has a multivalued attribute like:

tags:
  - foo
  - bar
  - baz

After #128, it is possible to search off any single value, but because of the lack of support for arrays, it is not possible to search for a combination of values.

That is, we can search for:

--tags foo

But not:

-- tags foo --tags baz
