i would prefer "intelligent cables".
this is a feature that PCB software has (tools for designing circuits).
given a netlist (here, a collection of inlets) with nodes that should be
connected together, the program find the best path for each connection,
i.e. by following a grid. (there are well known algorithms about this)
this "best" path should be a segmented (or bezier, or exp, or ...) line
that try to not accross wires nor objects, to make reading (and MAKING)
a patch easier, especially in the cases of many->one inlet or vice-versa
(or other situations i don't remember ;)).
what do you think about it?
