yay, this is great news. glad you could make it.

some notes below:

* junctions can use flags(final) in order to avoid processing the rest of the channels if one matches
* it might make sense to emphatize that if multiple channels process the message, multiple outputs will be generated.
* another use case: with junctions, channels and inline drivers, you can associate processing with the source driver, so it automatically emits well formed messages.

ah, I can see that this discusses the use case I was talking about. A referral might help between the two chapters.

a bit more step by step tutorial would be useful, junctions are a complex concept.
