Alright, here's an updated patch which doesn't return any detail if no
values are visible or if only a partial key is visible.

Please take a look.  I'm not thrilled with simply returning an empty
string and then checking that for BuildIndexValueDescription and
ExecBuildSlotValueDescription, but I figured we might have other users
of BuildIndexValueDescription and I wasn't seeing a particularly better
solution.  Suggestions welcome, of course.

    Thanks!
