// A note about comparisons:
// When setting value by determining index from the genotype, we face the problem

//      GT:TAG   1/1:0,1,2  0/0:0
// Then when querying we expect the following expression to evaluate for the second
// sample as
//      -i 'TAG[1:1]="."'  .. true
//      -i 'TAG[1:GT]="."' .. false
// The problem is that the implementation truncates the number of fields, filling
// usually fewer than the original number of per-sample values. This is fixed by
// adding an exception that makes the code aware of this: the GT indexing can be
// recognised by having tok->idx==-3
