Does an equivalent node exist / what should I call it

[dceejay]

The aversion we have to this is that it introduces invisible wiring - so data no longer flows down wires and can just pop up "anywhere" - this makes the flow less readable and understandable as you don't know why data is changing in some place that is not wired up and makes it hard to debug. It's an anti pattern for a tool that is all about wiring up flows of events.
