Comment (by Offereins):

 The following issues arise when developing this for a multiple-member-
 types-per-field situation:

 * When multiple member types can be selected per field: how should this be
 stored in the database?
 * When multiple member types can be selected per field: how does this
 translate to field types (optional/required), when different member types
 should have different field types?

 For both issues counts: storing an array as data (either member types or
 field types) is bad when we would want to query profile fields per member
 type (see registration page suggestion).

 Any suggestions on this or is it advised to discontinue the multiple-
 member-types track for now?
