But why would you do that? For any given id, the type is predetermined (and
fixed).  If you were going down this path (of collapsing Input and Output
together), I would expect:

interface MIDIAccess {
    sequence<MIDIPort> listInputs ();
    sequence<MIDIPort> listOutputs ();
    MIDIPort          getPort (MIDIPort or DOMString or short target);
};
