Circuit based dynamic train station names

TL;DR
Make dynamic train station names available via circuit network parameter substitution.
What ?
Having parametrized blueprints is great, but train station names are fixed. The amazing circuit parameter in train interrupts could be used outside of them, for example in train stop names. It would be substituted on the fly by the strongest signal sent to the train stop.
Why ?
This would enable easy creation of multi-purpose train stations when coupled with generic train interrupts. That and/or regex pattern matching mentioned elsewhere on the forum.

This is your spec almost exactly, if you'll take a mod doing it: Station Renamer
Combinator. Parameter substitution in the station name, strongest signal wins.
{icon}, {Name}, {name}, {count}, {type} and {quality}, plus the real interrupt wildcards
{item} / {fluid} / {fuel} / {signal}. The wildcards are type filters as well as
placeholders, so a {fluid} renamer fed an item declines and falls back -- an item renamer
and a fluid renamer can sit on the same wire and only the right one acts.

Still want it in vanilla though. +1.
