 At the moment, data from multi-value profile fields
 (selectboxes/multiselect) are stored as serialized arrays in
 `$bp->profile->table_name_data`. This prohibits querying users by this
 data using `BP_Xprofile_Query`, which is obviously something BP needs to
 continue to grow. So let us do something about it
 ([https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/buddypress/p1450798412002456 with

 At the moment, backpat is the greatest concern, but that should not stop
 us. Please join the discussion on how to make this happen.
