I don't think that plugin authors create field names that are completely
unique. I have not worried til now and used short names like "email" in
the flex form configurations of my plugins. Looking at other peoples'
extensions they did likewise.

This means if extension A has a field "email" in its FF, and extension B
has it too then I need a way as an admin to distinguish them.

For types this not a problem as we have already a configuration for this:

[tablename].[field]
[tablename].[field].types.[type]

Maybe we can get something like this:

[tablename].[field].types.[type].subtypes.[subtype]
