Body: <p>When you enrol a contact into a membership, you can add a campaign for them so that there's a link between their membership and a campaign. But that seems to be it - any donations they make not automatically linked to the campaign and the same goes for member dues.  So what's the point of this link? My use case would have been a good fit for this linking of membership to a campaign, where people have one membership type but are linked to different campaigns depending on how much they give.</p>
