Description
It would be useful if a client can distinguish at a glance of the members list (i.e. the set of m.room.member) events which users are guests, which are ghosts of which ASes, etc...
One way that this could be done easily is by adding another profile-like field, to be supplied along with the displayname and avatar_url fields there.

The issue proposes a new profile-like field for distinguishing guests and ghosts of application services; done would require a decided field definition and corresponding specification text.
