The Assert Structural Type Match node should be growable

Status: New

Idea: The Assert Structural Type Match node should be growable (able to expand the number of inputs downwards and/or upwards). This would be similar to how many well-loved nodes can be "grown" downwards or upwards, such as Build Array, Concatenate Strings, Index Array, Merge Errors, etc.

The following screenshot shows a real-world VIM that I created where I would have benefited from this feature. I needed to ensure that three inputs were all of the same data type. This required using two Assert Structural Type Match nodes. It would be possible to use a single node with three inputs if this idea was implemented. This would result in fewer wires and fewer objects on the block diagram.
