Make Funnels placed over a Basin not drop items as an entity

Describe the Suggestion

Make Funnels placed directly over a Basin not drop items as an entity.
Instead, make them insert items directly into the Basin.

Screenshots and Videos

Funnel dropping items into a Basin (funnels still behave like that in Create 0.5.1):
Hitboxes are enabled, so blue line represents a direction that the item entity inside the Basin looks.

Comparison: A Funnel inserting items onto a Depot:

Additional Context

Funnels can already place items directly on Depots, so why not into Basins?

Implementing this would help so much for making compact Create automations without worrying about
items despawning/server lag.

Especially since compactness and simplicity of placing the Funnel in such a way promotes building the Funnels in such way.

Please note, that "not dropping items" is already possible:

  1. Using Belts to move items into the Belt Funnels placed on the sides of the Basin,
  2. For Compacting and Mixing recipes, using this setup with Chutes (which is currently the most compact way to insert items into the Basin):
