I am currently against doing that, for the following reaons:

- We need to use development resources to adapt Flow to understand this 
format (Reflection, PropertyMapping etc.)
- We don't have a good solution for Collection types, so they would 
most probably end up with a different syntax
- IMHO it's syntactically crappy to read ("User in Array" vs. "Array of User")

Cheers,
Christian
