[MOBY-dev] [moby] Suggestion for new tag in Parameter (Secondary Input specification)

[Mark Wilkinson]

Absolutely - I believe the INB had also requested this a while ago, too.

Do we need to go through an RFC for this?  I hope not...

If nobody objects, I'll add it to the API right away.  It should only
take a couple of minutes to code.

"For most of this century we have viewed communications as a conduit, 
       a pipe between physical locations on the planet. 
What's happened now is that the conduit has become so big and interesting 
      that communication has become more than a conduit, 
       it has become a destination in its own right..."
