  These five patterns are what should be included.

  Syntax brainstorm. The exclusive choice may be easy to implement in code but really cannot be done without a block in the command line.

  Numbers indicate which tasks to use.  For sequence, no number implies the next task.
  --: sequence 
  --[] parallell split/fork 
  --() synchronization/sync
  --x exclusive choice/... (omit)
  --{} simple merge/merge

  These can get put anywhere, say at the end, or in the middle if desired. First number is assumed to be the last task declared (ex, tasks.length-1). For sequence, the second number is assumbed to be the next task to be declared (ex, tasks.length). In the other cases, numbers must be specified explicitly.

  
  --1:2 sequence 1, 2
  --1[2,3] parallel split/fork 1 into 2, 3
  --1(2) synchronization/sync 1 into 2 (listed once for each merge)
  --x exclusive choice/... (omit)
  --1{2} simple merge/merge 1 into 2 (listed once for each merge)
  
  

  Variations:

  
    % tap run -- a --:1 b --[2,3] c --{5} d --{5} e --{5} f --
  
    % tap run -- a -- b -- c -- d -- e -- f --0:1 --1[2,3] --2{5} --3{5} --4{5}

  Keep in mind workflow tasks should not take inputs. Do something like:

  • parse for tasks, add to array
  • collect workflow breaks
  • construct workflow from breaks, pulling tasks out of the array as you go. raise error if any of the pulled tasks have inputs
  • enque remaining with inputs

  Any task can have configurations.
