Arithmetic combinators should use blueprint parameterization methods and allow for multiple equations

TL;DR
Arithmetic combinators should be updated to bring them inline with what blueprint parameters can already do, and make them be able to do more at once like decider combinators can

What?
Add a field that allows for more complex equations, and allow for more outputs and equations inside of the same combinator

The symbol to the right of the Formula box would be used to add input signals to the equation, It also gives an option for what wire you want to output the signals on.
Why?
This would bring arithmetic combinators in line with how much better decider combinators are now in 2.0, it also would make arithmetic combinators as useful as the blueprint parameterization in terms of the ability to do calculations, the same logic can be used for both of them. This would compact circuits massively and make more things possible (the ability to do that many sequential calculations in a single tick is big)

In light of version 2.1 and that an update for the arithmetic combinator is planned, I will bump this suggestion again.

additional bump (it has been a week)
