A combined operator automatically inject its sub-operators into the scope it is applied on. Thereby the names of the sub-operators are used as variable names. Those operators can be extracted again in the contained operator graph by using an OperatorExtractor. So it is possible to parameterize a combined operator with custom operators.";
