I tend to just write the equivalent haskell code with the function 
definitions left out. I suspect the only thing that can really be gained 
with a more graphical language is drawing dependancy lines between 
modules and the like - though I was never big on the formalised modelling 
languages in the first place, so I may not be the best person to conclude 
that.

Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire. Most 
of the time you just get burnt worse though.
