Well! So far, Specter appears to have taken the "path map" idea that I'd 
been toying with to its ultimate logical conclusion—far better than I could 
ever do it. Nathan Marz even says that needing to manipulate tricky graphs 
"forced" him to come up with Specter. If I understand it correctly, Specter 
would even allow me to map these peculiar port graphs to simplicial graphs 
without adding any performance overhead.

It looks like I'd need to write a custom navigator or two. I haven't yet 
found a good tutorial for getting beyond the most elementary concepts of 
Specter, though. Can you recommend one?
