Description
Following on from this discussion:
I am keen to understand exactly how to specify multiple constraint dependencies. The current example in the docs is not broad enough to eliminate ambiguity.
I have put together an imgur album to make it clear different ways that multiple constraint dependencies might be able to be specified. I'm not sure which of the possibilities shown in the album are valid or not.
I'm happy to shape this into an example in the docs once it is clarified.

Research direction
Start with discussion #6613 and the current “Multiple constraints dependencies” section in the dependency specification documentation. Compare its example with the alternatives in the linked Imgur album and establish which forms are valid; done means the documentation removes the ambiguity with a sufficiently broad example.
