A related and also very important feature would be the simplification of 
tweaks that are written in the "Difficult tweaks" section in the manual, 
namely the first one:

"There are two classes of difficult adjustments. First, when there are 
several of the same objects at one point, and you want to adjust only 
one. ... In this case, the \applyoutput function must be used. "
