Explicit versus implicit

Implicit repetition is prioritary to explicit repetition for consistancy purposes. Therefore, you can't specify an explicit repetition on a definition which is already implicitly repeated. The port ratios would not be consistant anymore.

Furthermore, if you perform some actions on your algorithm graph which cause the port ratios of a definition explicitly repeated to change, the definition becomes implicitly repeated and the explicit repetition factor is lost.
