                                           InputDescriptor

A data descriptor for defining a core's input.

In contrast to normal data descriptors, InputDescriptors generate a contextGrammar to feed the table mentioned in the first make if no grammar is given (this typically is the input table of the core). Conversely, if a contextGrammar is given but no make, a make with a table having params defined by the contextGrammar's inputKeys is automatically generated.

Attributes like auto, dependents, sources and the like probably make little sense for input descriptors.
