Documentation problem

The use for multiindex should be documented in Indexing and selecting data.

There are currently no examples of extracting data where different columns equal different values, only inequalities.

Suggested fix for documentation

Adding such an example will allow to segue into the reasoning for, use, and benefits of using a MultiIndex.

A similar discussion to this SO answer would be helpful.
