let's think about clustering

Easiest way to pass in clusters, as we've already observed, is to just have a "cluster object" to pass in as an addition. This isn't a node, and we don't want to require "clusters" when people just want to add a single node. It isn't an objective either - it's a group of objectives, because when we return a route, we return a series of objectives.

So, "add cluster" is intrinsically different.

The next question, though, is how we link things. I'm liking the idea of the same ol' "link cluster X to cluster Y" thing. I think it's a good idea to create a list of "start nodes", though.

We're going to restrict it so that dependencies can only be done with clusters, just for the sake of my sanity.
This will also probably make it easier to ignore single parts of clusters, since we can do so by just tweaking the cluster definitions. I think this works.

I think this works tomorrow.

hey hey ignoring is complicated so let's discuss that!

Problem: One item can be ignored by multiple modules. Further problem: One item can be "de-ignored" explicitly by the player. Further further problem: either clusters or items can be ignored.

Current solution: We provide "ignore" and "unignore" functions that take a cluster and an identifier. Ignoring only stacks if the identifier is unique. If X depends on Y, and Y is ignored, then X is implicitly ignored.

Later, we'll provide something similar on items (or just dump items entirely? it's not like they're used for anything)
