d2 api: handle globs

[alixander]

what happens if * -> y, and you delete one the edges? It shouldn't change the glob, it should null the edge.

What about adding a new object? i suppose the glob rules can also by default apply to it on creation

i am confused

a{ style.font-color: darkgreen; style.stroke: darkgreen; style.fill: honeydew; }
b{ style.font-color: red; style.stroke: red; style.fill: mistyrose; }
c

#a:null

*->y
(b->y)[*]:null

#a:null

a{ style.font-color: darkgreen; style.stroke: darkgreen; style.fill: honeydew; }
b{ style.font-color: red; style.stroke: red; style.fill: mistyrose; }
c

a:null

*->y
(b->y)[*]:null

#a:null

a{ style.font-color: darkgreen; style.stroke: darkgreen; style.fill: honeydew; }
b{ style.font-color: red; style.stroke: red; style.fill: mistyrose; }
c

#a:null

*->y
(b->y)[*]:null

a:null
