hmm. i don't like this symlink idea. kinda kludgy to me, but that's
surely a matter of taste.
how about a feature to collapse an arbitrary part of the graph into
a black box? rubber-band a couple of jack clients, press
ctrl-something and you get a blackbox with all inputs that
originally went into the subgraph and all outs as well, which is
labelled by default with a simple list of the clients inside,
regardless of their ordering.
just an idea...
