It's a bit weird having a `""facets""` list that can either by column-name-strings or `{""type-of-facet"": ""column-name""}` objects. Maybe there's a better design for this?

Part of the problem here is that facets were designed to accept optional extra configuration - partly to support `m2m` facets in #495 - but I haven't actually shipped any facets that use that ability.

Facet by delimiter would be a good one to exercise that ability:

It does further highlight the bug in #625 though - since then if you try to add `?_facet=tags` to facet by tags treating them NOT as an array your request to do so is ignored.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1078702875,Allow to set `facets_array` in metadata (like current `facets`),
