Same as PogoIndex::Hash->new, but using Pogo::Btree.

$obj = PogoIndex::Ntree->new;

Same as PogoIndex::Hash->new, but using Pogo::Ntree.

$obj->add($key, $value);

This object method adds the value $value as a value of the key $key.

$obj->del($key, $value);

This object method deletes the value $value from the list of values of the key $key.

$obj->clear($key);
