This is a good idea, but what about this: A sparate module with all kind
of auxiliary modules, comparators, inverters, logic functions. Then you
can route the VCLAG to a comparator, but you can also connect the ADSR
this way (only guessing here). And you could use the comparator for
other functions, like keyboard split, for triggering a ADSR from an
amplified audio signal, and so on.

I would provide multiple jacks on the auxiliary module then (like, the
comparator having two input jacks in parallel), because you will
most likely use it together with another module.
