Multi-select in methods will be confusing. Which method will appear in 
code pane? if code pane is modified then do all the methods have to be 
recompiled?

Multi-select is will be quite useful in class/method categories because 
categories may be used as filters. But it needs to be done with care. I 
find the multi-select in the "help->About this system" disconcerting 
because it reuses select for select-again violating POLA. Multi-select 
list should be visually distinct from single select lists.
