 ** A factory to build processing nodes
 ** @todo draft from the early days of the Lumiera project, reworked in 2009
 **       Development activity in that area as stalled ever since. In the end,
 **       it is highly likely we'll _indeed need_ a node factory though...
 ** @todo about to be reworked for the »Playback Vertical Slice« in 2024
