Separate signals to/from red and green wires

It's only partially implemented, only for combinators.

The use case on inserters to e.g. read hand content on green and set filter on red is not implemented for example. Something that's become even more pressing with Gleba.

You can use an arithmetic combinator to simply subtract the value of the filter signals.

Even for assembling machines with read contents + read ingredients, you could use a second empty machine to do read ingredients on.

Just saying that there are (inconvenient) workarounds...,

But we should just have little R and G checkboxes next to all the signal options (or at least the ones that don't let you choose the actual signal, e.g. the enabled setting or read working on an assembler)

That requires one combinator per inserter, a diode. There can be no wire connecting any 2 inserters or their "read content" would be reused as "set filter" in the other. Subtracting the read content from the set filter is not an option as that has 1 tick delay and then the inserter has already picked up items.
