This is bitmask with possible selection of multiple inputs, so the current name is definitely miss-leading. You even could potentially call `operator.endInput(InputSelection.ALL)`. However we might we can come up with a better name then `InputSelection`? `InputSet`? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
