Fields and Anonymous Attributes [Proposal]

I was worried about this as well ( I mean, both not including get/set nodes, and the uselessness of feedback given in discussion)

About the Set/Get not being implemented:

Talking to @jacqueslucke here:

he actually made me realize that whenever you use a “local” named attribute in the node tree, and with local i mean that it will be never used outside the node tree/ group, it make sense to use an anonymous attribute connections.
So, basically, as long as all the nodes on which it makes sense support output anonymous sockets, we should be OK. The trade-off is that there will be a lot more noodles around. I think I suggested somewhere to create a “jump” or “wireless” node to reduce that.

For the the feedback not being considered, I guess the problem is that these thread get huge and scattered, and I fear that I’ts impossible to keep track of them for devs… We probably need a more standard and structured form of providing specific feedback on topics…
