Shader Legend Idea

I know we have a legend for Types of shaders, but it'd be really handy for a custom legend you could toggle on for shaders. To denote them in a special way without a random group or note specifying a random shader name. Take a look at this example. Basically, you'd have a input field that asks for what the Legend Name is, and than has a colour to specify. On the right side of the node window, it lists the legend colours and titles actively in the project.

I think this could help a lot with downloaded projects and even tutorials with nodes on screen. Not to mention just user sanity when working with tons of nodes.

Obviously the idea could possibly be refined, larger legend indicator on shaders, but just wanted to put this out there with everyone. Discuss. :P
