hmm shouldn't this:
if the body of one solid creates a particular table in a database and the body of another solid consumes that table
be modeled w/ IOManagers instead of Nothings?
Is there a better motivating example in the post-0.10.0 world? Maybe a scenario where you know a solid produces a side-effect in an external system (API call, etc.) but otherwise don't have the ability to model that in Dagster's programming model?

This might be a little extreme, but I think basically any side effects "should" be modeled with IOManagers. However, there are many mundane reasons why people might choose not to: e.g. calling an external library that invokes sql_con.execute("create table as select..."). I'll try to explain this a little better.
