Also, to take an example from sooperlooper, its multicontrol port
would be a MOMENTARY and ENUMERATED port.  An ideal UI in its case would
likely be a bunch of buttons, one for each enumeration....  but
a generic host might make it a combobox and single button.

I believe Taybin's concern is what would a generic host be
expected to do?   A very good question, but whichever host comes
up with the best answer wins :)
