I think I might have answered my own question with a little more browsing
and your mention of "arbitrary operand names". It appears that the syntax
here is recordkind:$name where 'recordkind' has been previously defined, and
'name' is just a descriptive name attached to a particular dag node input,
which may (or may not) be referred to later in the definition of the current
record.

Is that correct?
