      Description

      The current grammar for Requirement Def. is as follows:

      <requirement_name>:
      node: <node_type_or_template_name>
      capability: <capability_type_or_template_name>
      relationship: <relationship_type_or_template_name>

      The new notation would allow the a single-line, list notation for a very common case where only the 'tuple names (i.e., node, capability, name are needed (no target_filter) as follows:

      requirement: [ <node_name>, <capability_name>, <relationship_name> ]

      For example, the new notation would allow the following host requirement:
      requirements:

      • db_admin_console:
        node: my_database
        capability: db_admin_endpoint
        relationship: my_connection

      to be written more simple as:

      requirements:

      • db_admin_console: [ my_database, db_admin_endpoint, my_connection ]

      ------------
      Note: we may want to discuss ordering of list to put relationship in the 2nd entry in the list instead of the capability, whatever seems to be the most common use case (i.e., are relationships or capabilities needed more often when describing a requirement?).
