Schemas using compact storage can have clustering keys with the trailing
components not set and effectively being a clustering key prefixes
instead of full clustering keys.

We use boost::any to convert to and from database values (stored in
serlialized form) and native C++ values. boost::any captures information
about the data type (how to copy/move/delete etc.) and stores it inside
the boost::any instance. We later retrieve the real value using
boost::any_cast.
However, data_value (which has a boost::any member) already has type
information as a data_type instance. By teaching data_type intances about
the corresponding native type, we can elimiante the use of boost::any.
While boost::any is evil and eliminating it improves efficiency somewhat,
the real goal is growing native type support in data_type. We will use that
later to store native types in the cache, enabling O(log n) access to
collections, O(1) access to tuples, and more efficient large blob support.
Values inside IN clause should be sorted and duplicates removed if the
restricted columns are part of the clustering key, which is always true
for multi column restrictions.
