we've talked about "named mod busses" where I can send one or more modulations to a modulation bus A, and then use that modulation bus A as a source for something else.

This is a nice feature, but it's a little misguided. The correct answer is not to have special destinations and sources, but rather to just add a number of general purpose lanes to the timeline, and allow those lanes to be both destinations and (one-sample-delayed, like other lanes) sources.

This should apply to all engines' mod matrices.
