Description

A common pattern that emerges (for example see https://cwl.discourse.group/t/how-to-iterate-over-input-file-array-from-arguments-valuefrom/79/2) is to loop over the paths in a list of files in a bash script. It would be nice to offer this as a property of a File list input, e.g.

`inputs.files.paths`

will be a string with paths in quotes, separated by spaces.
