I imagine that you would get problems with duplicates. You could duplicate
enough of the caches and internal structures that it would work, but then
you would be close to having two instances of venti anyway. But maybe, if
you removed the assumption that there are no duplicates, and changed venti
to just index the first instance of a score/value pair.
