while it does look pretty, i hope you are not going to start teaching people to use fan-out rather than [trigger].
Therefore, in cases where crossed wires or other ambiguities are not an issue, Fanout(1) is preferable to Trigger(2).
Conclusion: teach Fanout(1) and Trigger(2) for situations where ordering doesn't matter, and Trigger(1) for situations where it does. The end.
also, in a potential future with some kinds of parallelism in pd, taking Fanout (rather than Trigger) as an explicit statement that the branches are not dependent on order of execution is quite interesting, and very consistent with the ideal that Fanout order is undefined. But that is a dream-space a long way off for pd as it is now.
