providing multiple id or name values about rack HOT 5 CLOSED

Alternatively, if we do allow multiple values, maybe there are only ids and names flags (as opposed to id and name that we have currently).

Eh, after thinking about it, I don't really like this concept. I came to the conclusion that piping to STDIN isn't really passing multiple values at once as much as streaming one or more values that can each be handled individually and have its response streamed back. Others should feel free to chime in though.

rack servers get --id 12345,5678,12395

Definitely not a fan of that.

Now there's some foresight! The only problem there is making the resulting tabular output match the size appropriately. Doing each individually also means repeated calls to the API when we could have made bulk calls (not necessarily available across all OpenStack or Rackspace APIs).

Do you mean there should only be a single header from this command?:
(echo 2 && echo 3) | rack servers flavor get --stdin id

To me, these would just return 2 stacked get tables, each with a header.

Closing as "not implementing".
