Blender needs an output value node

Dear CGCookie
Having just watched the video about socket color meanings I have to say that Blender really needs a Value Output Node.
Animation Nodes has such a node and it's a relief to be able to check the value of a given process.
Any chance it will be implemented in the future.
If not, is there a way to make such an arrangement with the existing nodes?

    That would be really nice! I don't know of a way to do that though, because it would not be a single number but a single number per pixel, and at that point a greyscale output is about as good as it can get.
