/**
 * Adds to or changes the calculated vote results for a piece of content.
 *
 * VotingAPI calculates a number of common aggregate functions automatically,
 * including the average vote and total number of votes cast. Results are grouped
 * by 'tag', 'value_type', and then 'function' in the following format:
 *
 *   $results[$tag][$value_type][$aggregate_function] = $value;
 *
 * If no custom tag is being used for votes, the catch-all "vote" tag should be
 * used. In cases where custom tags are used to vote on different aspects of a
 * piece of content, a catch-all "vote" value should still be calculated for use
 * on summary screens, etc.
 *
 * @param $vote_results
 *   An alterable array of aggregate vote results.
 * @param $content_type
 *   A string identifying the type of content being rated. Node, comment,
 *   aggregator item, etc.
 * @param $content_id
 *   The key ID of the content being rated.
 *
 * @see votingapi_recalculate_results()
