I guess I agree, for connecting one outlet to multiple inlets, but I still see no problem with being able to connect multiple outlets to one inlet.
or multiple outlets to multiple inlets, for that matter.
Actually that idea already was mentioned once by Miller, IIRC. This is a bad example, but basically it's about making things like this easier:
[unpack 0 0 0 0 0] | | | | | [pack 0 0 0 0 0]
The idea around this is to allow making connections by a keyboard shortcut instead of drawing a connection with the mouse, which is something, many people have motorical (is this the correct word?) problems with.
It would be great to be able to select two objects then press whatever key and a connection would magically appear between the upper and the lower object.
Some way would be needed to allow connections to non-matching xlets, like connecting an object's first outlet to the second inlet of another object as in:
[0\
|
[+ 10]
All these are very useful operations that don't explicitly encourage "wrong" patching habits and are more flexible in the long run anyways than making connections between one outlet and many inlets or one inlet and many outlets a tiny bit easier.
