Isn't sendsSignalTo effectively just a synonym for moveAfter then?

moveAfter is not persistent, but sendsSignalTo would be.

b.moveAfter(a);
a.moveToTail(s);  // now b is before a and we have no way to repair it automatically

but...

b.receivesSignalFrom(a);  // (the reverse method for mixerchannel)
a.moveToTail(s);  // order is broken
Node.reorder;  // hypothetical method that would fix the node ordering

Devil's advocate: In what case would you actually do a.moveToTail(s) if you wanted auto node reordering? If something is doing it behind the scenes, how do you guarantee that Node.reorder doesn't break that?
