Hi Eugeniu,

thanks for this work!

I see.

Main question before looking at the code: Can't we just extend the
existing binding with an optional second parameter?

        minItems: 1
        maxItems: 2

I tend to favour this approach...

If we decide for the path proposed here, should the old binding be
deprecated then?
