Timechart involving multiple "group by"

I've given all my data 1 of 3 possible event types. In addition, each event has a field "foo" (which contains roughly 3 values).

What I want to do is....
-For each value in field foo
-count the number of occurrences for each event type
-Plot those counts over time.

I would expect that the resultant timechart would have ~3^3 lines with data points for each day.

How would I do this?

Like this:

| eval foo2 = eventtype . "/" . foo
| timechart count BY foo2

Provided eventtype is never multi-valued.

This would have worked absolutely perfectly if each of my events didn't have multiple event types assigned to them.
