/** @file nodewiring-def.hpp
 ** Helper for defining the desired wiring and operation mode for a render node.
 ** During the Builder run, the render nodes network is wired up starting from the
 ** source (generating) nodes up to the exit nodes. As the wiring is implemented through
 ** a const engine::WiringDescriptor, when a new node gets fabricated, all of the connections
 ** to its predecessors need to be completely settled; similarly, any informations pertaining
 ** the desired operation mode of this node need to be available. Thus we use this temporary
 ** information record to assemble all these informations.
 ** 
 ** @see proc::engine::NodeFactory
 ** @see nodewiring.hpp

   * \par intended usage pattern
   * The goal is to describe the constellation of a new node to be built.
   * Thus, we start with one or several existing nodes, specifying which
   * output should go to which input pin of the yet-to-be created new node.
   * When intending to create a source node, a default WiringSituation
   * should be used, without adding any connection information.
