So ... how do you deal with multiple sink? Like, say, suppose I have the 
following graph:

source --> goo --> sink1
            |
            -----> sink2

Clearly, the following would not work:

(sink1 (goo (source)))
(sink2 (goo (source)))

since how then would you differentiate it from the graph:

source --> goo --> sink1
source --> goo --> sink2

?
