Well, I thought this was actually possible through a crazy set of
components (I did something similar to this @ ACADIA...Scott dared
me), but wasn't able to get there.  The closest I came was getting it
done, but only via extracting one index of the list at a time.
Hopefully without some of the data flattening hurdles, this could be
done through grasshopper w/o a scripting component.

Best,
