Comment:

 I see use cases for this, for sure. We've discussed radio buttons in the
 context of #14746.

 We have checkboxes for the hierarchical meta box only, with the
 nonhierarchical taxonomies receiving the ad hoc tags box.

 How would you handle hierarchy? Would "exclusive" be limited to
 nonhierarchical taxonomies using a derivative of the hierarchical meta
 box? Is hierarchy and exclusive .. mutually exclusive?

 When I first saw this, my initial thought was that "exclusive" should be
 solely a property of the meta box, but obviously we would have to enforce
 that elsewhere, on save.

 I think deciding on exactly how it should be enabled and enforced is the
 tricky part. The code should be easy.
