proposal: allowing type file for arrays as parameter

[LeFnord]

following parameter

{
  "in": "formData",
  "name": "file[file]",
  "description": "The actual file",
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "type": "file"
  },
  "required": false
}

is invalid, but intuitive correct and can be handled by the API.

I would propose, to allow all types for items as for parameter except array and object these should be reserved for body parameters defined as definition object.

Just to make sure I understand what you are proposing:

This is allowing uploading of several files with one request, each of them in a form data part, each with the same name, like what is defined in RFC 7578, section 4.3.

This seems to be related to #694, #254, #430.

Hi @ePaul … yeap, this is what I want to propose, unless it gives a better way to document the uploading of several files including some meta-data (e.g. file-size)
