       * - write a generic allocator, which later on can be augmented to do block wise bulk allocation /////////////DONE: AllocationCluster
       * - the allocator needs to keep track of the objects; actually he owns the objects              /////////////DONE
       * - we need to access the wiring descriptor of the predecessor nodes. Which means, the code
       *   must be in the body of NodeFactory (because the latter is friend of ProcNode and can access the wiring descriptor)
       * - btw reconsider if this level of protection is necessary, or if the const WiringDescriptor cant be just on the public interface of ProcNode
       * - find out how the Caching/ReadInput/InPlace detection can work
       * - think about a sensible Ctor for NodeFactory. This one must create the WiringFactory and pass the Allocator.
       * - all of this will be installed into the ToolFactory, i.e. it is part of the build process
