I see. Can I respectfully challenge this idea?
Is there a reason for not allowing a hub with a given scope symbol/name to
connect to any node with the same scope symbol/name, regardless of their
placement? Now that $ args work with preset_hub, I don't see why they
couldn't connect just like [s foo] and [r foo] in a location-independent
way. Of course I mean if there's a reason from the user's perspective I'd
like to learn it.

Thanks,

András
