Need some fun once a while:

On dragging a non-connected node on a noodle, it will insert it.
Functionality tweaks are possible, but it already feels non-intrusive.

Rules:
- Insertion only when a single noodle is intersecting with node.
- Default connects first matching socket type. 
- If no socket match, it connects the first.
