Description

I was using the public int getOrdinal(String dim, String[] path) API for a single path String and found myself creating an array with a single element. We can start using variable length args for this method.

I also propose this change:
I wanted to know the specific count of an ordinal using using the getValue API from IntTaxonomyFacets but the method is private. It would be good if we could change it to protected so that users can know the value of an ordinal without looking up the FacetLabel and then checking its value.
