Comment (by melchoyce):

 We talked about this during design office hours today:
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02S78ZAL/p1500566770617282

 Since there haven't really been any use cases presented for this feature,
 and default user roles within WordPress increase in privileges, we don't
 see this being useful unless someone has customized their site's user
 roles. For that reasons, we think this is plugin territory, rather than
 core. However, we're happy to hear any counter-points.

 > Let me just add that the default behavior remains the same only the API
 was extended to optionally handle multiple selection. None of the listed
 interfaces will be affected by this change.

 Just want to clarify — does this mean WordPress already supports multiple
 user roles by default on the API side, there's just no supported UI for it
 yet?
