SINGLE is 1 and only 1 among a list of options
MULTI is 1 or more among a list of options
RADIO is 0 or 1 among a list of options
GROUP is 0 or more among a list of options

In the first implementation SINGLE had a non userfriendly way to do 0 or 1 but
people complained about complexity to do and understand, RADIO is there to fix
that situation

GROUP I see it more as a convenient way too group the options together without
forcing the user to choose at least one. See how it is used for example in the
apr1 port now.

With the upcoming new dialog UI (planned for january) it will be even more
clear.

BTW the handbook as been updated to describe the 2 new options, if the
description out there is not clean enough, do not hesitate to ask for
improvements.

regards,
Bapt
