    Description

      In some examples of the ActivityPub protocol the to attribute contains an URI to an actor:

      "to": ["https://chatty.example/ben/"],
      

      and the ActivityStream vocabulary defines that the to attribute might be either a link or an object. So in the first implementation we considered that the to attribute would be a list of references or object to actors.

      However, some examples of the ActivityPub protocol contains things like that:

      "to": ["https://social.example/alyssa/followers/",
                         "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"],
      

      besides the "public" which is a special case, the URI to followers is actually typed to be an object or reference to a collections of actors.
      So we have now a typing issue we should solve to be able to handle special cases like this one.
