Sometimes, you just want a short inject node for debugging/testing but still want a label

If you group the node, add label to group and make the border invisible you can achieve this

Obviously, editing the node payload isn't as easy but if space is a premium, then the trade-off may be worth it

Hey Simon,  
This is creativity of the highest level...  
When I first saw your screenshot, I thought that you had created a pull-request to change the visual appearance of a Comment-node (i.e. showing only its label) 😇
