proposal: way to create multiple connections with array

[joonas-yoon]

I was trying to connect classes in a row as like:

Object -> Fruit -> Apple, Avocado, Banana, Grape, Melon

the output what I expected and what I've got is:

expected	but actually

but this is not what I want to do.

so I wrote the code like the following and its result is:

input	output
Object -> Fruit -> Apple Object -> Fruit -> Avocado Object -> Fruit -> Banana Object -> Fruit -> Grape Object -> Fruit -> Melon

Do you have any plan to support some of array operations in connection?

I think this will be useful when user want to create N:N connections with same objects.

as is	to be
Local -> Processor Cloud -> Processor Processor -> CPU CPU -> 0 CPU -> 1 CPU -> 2 Processor -> GPU GPU -> 0 GPU -> 1 GPU -> 2	[Local, Cloud] -> Processor -> [CPU, GPU] -> [0, 1, 2]

oh i like this idea, especially that N:M aspect. i'm for it and thinks it fits well in the language design. The arrays would be explicit though, like

Object -> Fruit -> [Apple, Avocado, Banana, Grape, Melon]

instead of

Object -> Fruit -> Apple, Avocado, Banana, Grape, Melon

@nhooyr any thoughts?

(this is a beautiful issue report)

Seems reasonable to me!
