RFC: support for updating a contact about contacts HOT 2 OPEN

I'm not sure about the underlying code but since most of the data is already present when you get a contact; I'm sure we could just update what we need and approach 1 would at least get us around having to store, delete, and create the entire contact again. Not sure if that would even work if there are notes and other things associated with it.

I'm currently making a support contact in my app and for now I only need a single number but I would like to be able to manage that number and potentially add more numbers to that contact based on certain departments.

However because of the drawbacks mentioned, I'm not in favor of using that approach. Moreover it would be kind of misleading to a developer and one might not be aware of the caveats. And essentially this approach is already possible by using the current API, by means of just getting, deleting and creating a contact.
