Re: Default bindings on p:output incoherent???

/ Innovimax SARL <innovimax@gmail.com> was heard to say:

A step that hasn't been implemented will cause the pipeline to fail,
so you can't get the result I think you intend.

| Why can't we allow that in the declare step ?

I see two problems with allowing a fixed, default output on declare-step?

1. I don't know of any use cases for it

2. As an implementor, making all of the steps of a particular type have
   the same fixed output looks fairly tricky.

It seems like a feature that would only ever be used in test suites :-)
