Do you have a specific use case in mind? Maybe - if you have a percentage slider like with humble bundles you can make it more explicit what part went where? In any case, if you're really interested in this you need to write a new BIP that extends 21. Any syntax will do does not help in

You can pull use cases out of thin air. Humble Bundle is a perfect example. BIP 0001 instructed me to introduce the idea here before performing the labor of writing a new BIP. If others reply in support then the labor will be justified. The intended purpose is to give users the simplest way to
