· check count of entities sent on connection, via an optional boolean parameter specified on connect() method; capacity and optional boolean can be in either order
· if non-optional array, at least one element must be connected
· send to unconnected port element should generate message and crash if "optional" not specified AND isConnected() not used in code
· I have implemented a little component called DispIPCounts, which outputs the requested counts at intervals specified in an IIP, just to give an idea of what could be done.
· added SelfStarting annotation to indicate that a component starts at the beginning of job EVEN IF it has input ports
· we won't worry about sends, etc., to element with index > array size, as this is taken care of by optional array size (first bullet above), or by the user writing an ex...
