Port names can be quite informative (in particular when chosen carefully ;-) and
help understand a workflow. The display of portnames seems to be a local
property of actor ports now. I would like to suggest a global switch to turn
on/off the display of all portnames. The following would probably be good global
options:

- turn ON GLOBAL port name display (overriding local settings)
- turn OFF GLOBAL port name display (overriding local settings)
- turn ON LOCAL port name display (as provided by the local settings)
