Feature: let (dispatch ...) take multiple args about re-frame HOT 4 CLOSED

Indeed, it would be simple, which is tempting. But I'm slightly cautious.

core.async/put! itself only allows you to put one thing at a time, and there's a reason for that - you want your API to be the simplest thing possible, while still facilitating the more complex things.

Only one thing is being put! at a time, unless I misunderstand something.

I'm pointing out that put! doesn't support multiple additions in one go. Instead put! provides the minimal API and then lets you build more complicated things on top (eg, multiple puts). And I'm suggesting that dispatch should be minimal in the same way.

There's a another, more subtle, reason I'm resisting this. I wonder if one day we'll actually want to add new, optional parameters to dispatch after the event. Additional flags. I wouldn't want to cut off that possibility for the moment.

So I'm going to say no to this for the moment. I'm hoping that your use-case can be satisfied by a emit-n function like this which is a part of your own app:

(defn emit-n 
  [& event-vs]
  (doall (map dispatch (remove nil? event-vs)))
  nil)

from re-frame.

Actually, the second reason makes a lot more sense to me. If you think the api could change, then you don't want to change it up. Cheers.
