+1 to add the output wire selection available in crafting machines to combinators. Having R/G check boxes on the output and else output conditions in a decider would be absolutely amazing for highly compressed circuits, especially for memory cells or DCs with a short circuit! Constant combinators ...

The one seemingly straight rail on top of ramp is actually slightly sloped (the slope begins halfway that rail piece).
So a solution could be to not allow curved rails directly on top of rail support, only two straight rails.
(I doubt this is what you envisioned your suggestion would lead to ...
