At some point in the future, I'm planning a "blueprint" layer which
would provide a global representation of a dataflow network.
Basically, each actual component would have a corresponding blueprint
component, and those would be be embedded in a BGL graph so you could
run different sorts of analysis (as well as instantiate or serialize
the actual network).  Also, if the components expose their threading
properties, the blueprint could perhaps be automatically modified to
include any needed threading-related guards before instantiating the
actual dataflow network.

Best regards,
