I included the ability to get/set an operand by name because I thought it would be easier to copy+modify an existing DAG by specifying the name of the operand you want to replace rather than having to remember its position. For example, if you want to replace the first source, isn't it easier to specify $src than remember it's the second operand? Perhaps the people actually coding these
