SYSML2 — Long-form notation for bindings and successions

The genera textual notation for (binary) connections (see 8.2.2.13.1 Connection Definition and Usage) allows for both a "short form" (connect...to...;) and a "long form", in which the ends are explicitly declared within the connection body. The notations for binding connections (see 8.2.2.13.2 Binding Connectors) and successions (see 8.2.2.13.3 Successions) also have their own "short forms" (bind...=...; and first...then...;)). However, even though both notations allow for connection bodies, the short-form part is required, so it is not possible to declare the ends within the bodies. (Note that the corresponding KerML notations do allow fully "long form" declarations for bindings and successions; see 8.2.5.5.2 and 8.2.5.5.3 in the KerML specification.)
