Comment (by lpryor):

 This would be really useful. I'd love to have multiple roles per user.

 I'd use it to define a number of roles, each with a separate group of
 capabilities: for example, one around creating and managing blog posts,
 one around each type of custom post, one for moderating forums (I'm using
 buddypress) and so on. And then a user could be a blog manager, a forums
 moderator, or both. At the moment you have to define a separate role for
 each possible combination of responsibilities.
