Can it? If I add a multiple input, the dropdown only contains my project's
point (vector) layers. If I explicitly set the datatype for the
ParameterMultipleInput to -1 (see
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/plugins/processing/tools/dataobjects.py#L53),
the dropdown correctly contains all my vector layers (point, line, and
poly).

What I was hoping for is to able to take *any* layer - vector or raster.
However, datatype ALL_TYPES (defined as [-1] at
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/plugins/processing/tools/dataobjects.py#L51)
fails, as it won't accept a list:

File "C:/OSGEO4~1/apps/qgis/./python/plugins\processing\core\parameters.py",
line 362, in __init__
			    self.datatype = int(float(datatype))
			TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number

I'm clearly not quite understanding this yet. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Tom
