[gme-users] If statment in the metamodel

[Zoltan Molnar]

If you stick with the "action" metaphore, then you can develop an add-on
that catches attribute modification events an acts accordingly (connects
and disconnects A, B and C)
Other choices: 

1.you can write a constraint that shows a dialog when the attribute
value is modified asking the user to perform the disconnecting needed

2.you can add the logic of ignoring connection AB or AC depending on the
attribute value to your interpreters, the model remaining 
untouched.

3.you can add an enum attribute to the AB, AC connections, showing
whether the connection is "active" or "inactive", then swap these values
according to the attr value in ModelA. This task can be done by an
add-on or interpreter.
