The current machine recipes do not allow usage of oredict recipes.
As a modpack creator/customizer I would love to add recipes which accept oredict entries as input for:

• ItemStackInput
• AdvancedMachineInput (itemStack)
• PressurizedInput (theSolid)

Places this would (possibly) be used are:

• Mekanism's own recipes (some might require glass or sand sometime)
• IMC messages for new recipes added through other mods
• CraftTweaker for adding through it's zenscript system

Current implementation does not have much flexibility as everything is indexed on one specific input (hashmap).

Desired result:
A implementation that has default support for oredict and wildcards (current check for that is also quite "hacky").
Even better would be a type safe implementation as currently there are a lot of unchecked casts happening throughout the code (RecipeHandler, CraftTweaker handlers, MekanismJEI).

Ideas on how to implement this (or even working implementations) are always welcome! Please share them here!
