Alias nodes

An arbitrary selection of nodes should be collapsible to a single node such that all the connections of nodes in that selection would be redirected to that remaining alias node. This is important for managing complexity in a large context.

Similar to the concept of node groups, but not necessarily the same. For example, aliases could be different in different contexts. In one context it might be appropriate to not abstract away some section of the network while in another it would be. This is a complex requirement, so the implementation should be thought through carefully. Getting it right would open up a lot of new ways for interacting with the node graph.
