Truffle: Nice to have: Multiple singletons of the same type of contract in migrations

[tcoulter]

Potential new syntax:

deployer.deploy(A);    // => A.json
deployer.deploy(A, {as: "GoldToken"}); // => GoldToken.json
deployer.deploy(A, {as: "SilverToken"}); // => SilverToken.json 

deployer.deploy(C, GoldToken);    // How do we get this?

Unanswered question: How do you refer to GoldToken after it's created?

Seems like a great feature to have.
Not sure if you're looking for syntax, but what about something like this?

deployer.deploy(A, {as: 'GoldToken'}); // => GoldToken.json
GoldToken = deployer.resolve(A, {from: 'GoldToken'})
deployer.deploy(B, GoldToken);

Could also make a new resolver module

factory patterns are quite common, I have 3 different use cases for this already...

[jbentke]

That is definitely needed :)

When can we expect this feature ?

This issue presents alternative possible syntax.

Which I see @tcoulter has included here:

It could probably be closed as duplicate.

Bot closing probably not good idea. This deployment system UX can be improved.

Or.... Keep #237 and close this one?

[gnidan]

Closing this one in favor of #237, since it seems a duplicate. Thanks all!
