Description

We have plans for several extensions to the Nextflow parameter schema format.

To allow multiple groups to work in parallel, it would be good to manually write "the most complex schema possible" that we imagine supporting once those tasks are done. This way, we have a common reference point for where we expect to get to later in the year.
