Actually, any tree based compositing software can do this. It would be extremely useful to have that in the render tree. And once you can collapse nodes into a group, you're one step closer to be able to make your own macros.

I usually stack all nodes that arent branched into little heaps of nodes, to keep different parts of the tree neatly separated, see attached. Perhaps a real grouping feature would be nice, like Shake.

eg. all the conversion nodes (color2scalar and so) can

really clutter

up things.
why have a seperate node to go from one to another?
perhaps this could be added within the connection line, and if you would right click on the line, you'd be able to see the conversion properties.
