Forge Multipart CBE (Post 1.8) support.

AE2 used to work with Forge Mutipart nearly perfectly, however I can't get it to work, having looked on the issue tracker it said there's no support. Please could this be reintroduced with the new Forge Multipart CBE, as this was a significant feature (which kept me from upgrading to the 1.12.2 version from 1.7.10 modding)

Describe the feature
It should work just as it did in 1.7.10, allowing us to surround terminals, terminate cables and do other stuff with the Multipart covers. This makes the terminals look a lot better and blend in more.

Reasons why it should be considered

  1. It was in previous versions of Applied Energistics 2! Removed functionality is rather annoying, especially it's when it's from my go-to storage mod and it's something I used heavily before!
  2. It allows us to blend the terminals further into our bases, making it look more tailored.

Additional Context

Thing is, I'm not sure what a a multipart solution offers that existing abilities don't already cover, if you'll pardon the choice of words.

Cables, terminals and the like can already be covered by facades, which can be cheaply crafted from most non TE blocks. Using different coloured cables can prevent them from connecting. Am I missing something?

This will not come back until it is not part of forge (or minecraft) itself. There were simpy too many issues with FMP in the past and we cannot rely on something which may or may not be updated and then blocking us forever or forcing us to roll our own incompatible fork.
