A few handy updates I find myself needing.

• cmdx.exists to quickly query existence
• cmdx.DagModifier improvied debugging
• cmdx.connect convenience function

if cmdx.exists(someNode):
  say_hello()

if someNode.childCount() > 1:
  print("This joint has multiple children, yo")

This one is useful for debugging.

with cmdx.DagModifier() as mod:
   tm = mod.create_node("transform")
   mod.doIt()
   mod.connect(tm["translateX"], tm["message"])

Before

# I had issues with `create_node` and `connect`

After

# I had issues with `connect`

Since we've already successfully done the prior with an explicit call to doIt. This helps when there's tons of things being done, but most of which have already been doIt.

And finally.

cmdx.connect(a["plug1"], b["plug1"])

As a convenience function for..

with cmdx.DagModifier() as mod:
  mod.connect(a["plug1"], b["plug2"])

To help with readability when most of the commands don't need/use a modifier, but just this one connect does.
