    A great question, was in the process of doing so. Short answer is it fails 
wonderfully:
    ```
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Port is not associated to any operator 
in the DAG: com.datatorrent.lib.stream.StreamMerger$1@3b084709
        at 
com.datatorrent.stram.plan.logical.LogicalPlan.assertGetPortMeta(LogicalPlan.java:1501)
        at 
com.datatorrent.stram.plan.logical.LogicalPlan.access$1000(LogicalPlan.java:119)
    ```
    
    The relevant question is thus is there any way to define ports in this way, 
e.g. an array of ports, such that the DAG is aware of the ports?
