Description:
A "Dot" Object for node flow rerouting of table links.

How to repeat:
By holding CTRL and clicking on a connection you would create a little dot... which acts (to the rendering engine) just like table, except it does absolutely nothing.

In compositing we use these often to direct the connection path in order to better organize our data.  (For example you may want to run a connection up and over another table (node).   

Suggested fix:
These are the sorts of nodes I'm used to working with and are quite different I understand from a table design...

...but if you look for the little white dots redirecting lines you can see an illustration of a dot being used to organize connection paths.
