[turba] multienum fields in turba

No, not currently.

Yeah.

I know I shouldn't say this with Horde 3 finalizing, but this is one of the
reasons we should really rip Horde_Form and friends apart and put it back
together slightly differently. We need something like a
$type->getStorable($options) method for Horde_Form_Type classes.

Maybe a not-so extreme solution would be to break Horde_Form_Type out 
into it's
own Horde_Type library (which could then include Horde_Date, even), and modify
UI_VarRenderer into another seperate library (Horde_Field) or some such. Types
would define validation, getting storable formats, etc. Fields would map to
display. Etc...

Thoughts?
