Combinators information

TL;DR
Being able to give names to Constant, Arithmetic, and Decider combinators and write notes on them

What ?
Similar to how we can name train stations and leave icons on the map, it'd be nice to be able to name combinators (EG: Failsafe, ticker, etc) or write a note on them (EG: "Change the value of this combinator to the number of chests this train station has").

Why ?
Makes more complex circuit networks easier to make, as you don't have to try and remember what a specific combinator was for if you can just write a note on it for how it works or what it's doing. It would also make circuit blueprints easier to use for different things, as you could write a note on it saying for example "Change the input value to the resource this outpost is producing"
