Journal metadata - buddies as a string?

[Martin Langhoff]

Looking at the .metadata files that the Journal now maintains, I find
that the buddies field is a string that stores a multidimensional
array... is this a bug? Or perhaps Xapian cannot sture md arrays?
Either way, looks like either a big or an artifact from the '90s to me
:-)

All I care to know is whether this is expected and matches the internal APIs ...

cheers,
