Description
I think we should support multiple values for fields. Example:
""" <= 0: unlimited, 1: default"""
emails = models.EmailField(max_length=128, limit=5)
Like Drupal is doing, single value field, we store the value in same table; multiple values, we create new table.

The normal way to do this in SQL is by using
ForeignKeys, which you can already do (the limit=5 requires a little validation code, though). What you could have is aListFieldcontaining multiple emails. I think django-nonrel has something like that, and it would be a nice feature when using SQL databases, too.I am going to close this one as wontfix, as the feature as presented doesn't fit into Django.
EmailFieldshould represent a single value, stored in a single column. It would be nice to be able to doListField(EmailField(), limit=5). But the basic fields should remain single-valued.
