First, it allows a ParameterizedNode to access attributes with arbitrary names from other ParameterizedNodes. Previously it was assumed the attribute would have the same name in both ParameterizedNodes. This extension is done by allowing a parameter to take a (ParameterizedNode, str) tuple indicating which attribute to access.
For example:
my_model = MyModel(arg1=(other_model, `arg9`))
will set my_model.arg1 = other_model.arg9.
Second, arguments natively handle FunctionNodes so the user does not need to pass compute each time.
