Hi,

I long time ago I posted a question about weird routing tables with
hobo:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03719.html

I did find out why. It seems that repeated transition names (same
name) creates multiple copies of the same route into the routes table.

There's two approaches to this (at least :). The first is to check the
routes before adding a new route to avoid duplicates. Another approach
is to extend the hobo transition statement.
I'd vote for the latter.

For instance, I have an application where I have some transitions that
have the same name:

<pre>
    transition :propose_artist_contract,   { :draft
=> :Cdraft_Aproposed    }, :available_to => "User"
    transition :propose_artist_contract,   { :Cproposed_Adraft
=> :proposed            }, :available_to => "User"
    transition :propose_artist_contract,   { :Cverified_Adraft
=> :Cverified_Aproposed }, :available_to => "User"
</pre>

For me it would be better if I could do something like this:
<pre>
    transition :propose_artist_contract,   { :draft
=> :Cdraft_Aproposed,
                                             :Cproposed_Adraft
=> :proposed,
                                             :Cverified_Adraft
=> :Cverified_Aproposed }, :available_to => "User"
</pre>

But, looking at the API, the transition method only supports one
single from => to state-pair, or an array for the from-state.

I hereby vote for allowing an array of from=>to states to be passed
for a single transition name, like the sample above show.

Any suggestions? Or votes?
