Yes, would be helpful to be able to get multiple consumer types in a 
single query. I agree that we would need to be able to sort through the 
different consumer types on the response side. For example, we'll want 
to be able to count quota usage as max('instance' usage, 'migration' 
usage) during a resize. And if a multiple consumer types filtered query 
returned a roll-up of all usages without grouping by consumer type, we 
would not be able to do the max thing we want to do without multiple 
separate queries to placement. Note that this reminds me that today we 
have to do two separate queries to placement, one filtered by project_id 
and one filtered by project_id and user_id in order to roll-up usage for 
a project and usage for a project user, for similar reasons.
