Commit Message

dataflow: a port says what it is in, and its address says what the far end is in

effective_type() let the address's unit override the one the port declares.
A control declares what it reads -- a colour control works in rgba, a gain in
decibels -- and the address only says what is spoken by the parameter at the
other end. Letting the address decide meant a value was converted into the
remote unit and then left in a port that everything reading it believed was
in the declared one.

A colour is where it shows: an address in argb reached a control meaning rgba
and arrived with its channels one place along, so the alpha was read as red
and the picture came out a different colour entirely. Nothing about that is
particular to colour -- the same holds of any two units of one dataspace.

The address still answers for ports that declare nothing of their own, which
is what it is there for.
