 * Sorry, but since that isn’t supported by `WP_User_Query` it isn’t supported by
   my plugin. Would be a nice feature though I agree.

 * now i register 2 different roles to 1 user and it works like a charme

 * it should be possible to list users from multiple roles with WP_User_Query & 
   get_users as explained here –

 * Everything is possible given enough time, but I can’t afford to spend much time
   adding new features at the moment. I didn’t really like the multiple query solution(
   and would be afraid of trying to deal with pagination on such a query) that was
   the accepted answer, and you’ll note that I commented that I didn’t have any 
   success with the complex meta query solution.
