Great work. Structuring helps in understanding. Actually this inspired me to do it slightly different and use icons in all my flows. This gives me a much quicker insight than using special characters.  
My flows now tell me what they are about (first icon) and what type they are (second icon).  
I use (2nd icon) lightning for a trigger, rolling ball for a flow, clock for a timed flow etc.

Hope this helps too!
