Minor (?) addition to the power switch

I'll keep it short:

I'd like to have the option to connect 2 logistic wires to the power switch. As long as the switch is turned on, the signals are transmitted (in both ways), when it's turned off, they're not.

But you can just as easily achieve this with a Decider Combinator. In fact it's pretty much the definition of a Decider.

A decider is a single way switch.
To achieve a 2 way switch, you'll need 2 deciders + 1 controller, either a power switch (to turn both on/off or a input-signal (chest/ wire signal/ constant combinator)

I don't think this could work. Signal values would loop and sum with themselves every other tick. If I am not wrong, it would take a lot more combinators to build something like that.

Forgot about this... but my sugguestion should still be valid.
The Powerplug is after all still a mechanic to seperate two networks, so why not those logistic ones aas well ?
