Request: Parellelize 2 Or more Tasks And Emit One Single Msg

[supermacro]

This is a feature request.

See here for context: https://old.reddit.com/r/elm/comments/91t937/is_it_possible_to_make_multiple_http_requests_in/

Imagine I have 2 http requests:

• getDogs : Cmd DogList
• getCats : Cmd CatList

I would like to run these two in parallel and emit one single message, GotAnimals (DogList, CatList).

Having to handle each msg individually in the update function leads to avoidable complexity.

Edit: There's even a package for this (https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/0ui/elm-task-parallel/latest/), but I think it's a common enough need that it should be baked into the language.
