Multi-Select filter option for non-picklist fields

As of the GA Superbank release, which has been pushed to all Production and Sandbox orgs as of last Friday night, Multi-Select filters are available on Picklist, Multipicklist, and Reference (lookup/master-detail) fields. So you shouldn’t have to use Pat Vachon’s hack to get this to work, we spent a lot of time working on adding in Reference field support over the past month.
