[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH 13/14] WIP: module api: expose box_tuple_extract_key_ex()

Thanks for the patch!

Or instead of _ex you could make it a method of key_def and
call it box_key_def_extract_key(...). IMO that would be more
appropriate as a key_def method.

I hate multikeys even more now.

See 2 comments below.

1. Why didn't you add a new BOX_KEY_DEF_MULTIKEY_NONE constant?
I thought we don't want to expose any internal definitions.

Also you could specify in the comment that pass -1 if don't want
to use multikey. Without a enum. I think it would be totally
fine.

2. Lets be consistent and not use '-' between '@param name'
and the parameter description. In addition to using capital
letter in the beginning and dots in the end. Sorry for OCD.
