You can combine attributes with the "and" combinator if you want to attach
more than one.

AFAIK there is a .named() convenience method that you can use on these
things (not in the class but when using the DSL). Also, you can import
OperationAttributes._, and then you can just call named("x") and ...

No, Merge has a shape of UniformFanIn. The sugared version of connecting
merge/broadcast only works because the DSL understands UniformFanin/Fanout
shapes, but it does not know about other shapes, since they can have
different types for each port (inlet/outlet).
