[Pd] Feature request: simultaneous connections

[Chuckk Hubbard]

Then perhaps it could just be for multiple outlets, and not multiple inlets.
I'm thinking of instances where only one of those messages is going to be
sent on any pass.  I do it all the time, often with a [route] object
determining which message is to be sent.
A trigger object wouldn't make much difference with several messages going
to one inlet: the place for the trigger would be before those several
messages.  They could still all connect directly from their outlets.

... and then people will complain that their patches do strange things
because they created fanning-connections with undefined execution
order instead of properly using the trigger-object.

I don't think it's a good idea to encourage outlet-fanning with a
keyboard shortcut.
