/**
 <p>An actor that disassembles an ArrayToken to a multiport output.</p>
 <p>On each firing, this actor reads an ArrayToken from the input
 port and send out each element token to each channel of the output
 port. If the width of the output port (say, <i>n</i>) is less than
 the number of elements in the array (say <i>m</i>), then the first
 <i>n</i> elements in the array will be sent, and the remaining
 tokens are discarded. If <i>n</i> is greater than <i>m</i>, then
 the last <i>n-m</i> channels of the output port will never send
 tokens out.</p>
 <p>
 This actor is polymorphic. It can accept ArrayTokens with any element
 type and send out tokens corresponding to that type.
