Is there a way to have more than one character in connectors?

Question

Hello. 

I would like to know if there is a way to have complete words instead of a single character in the connectors, on an activity diagram.

@startuml
start
:foo2;
("Basic routine")
end

("Basic routine")
:foo5;
end

@enduml

Thanks

Hello J.,

Here is another proposal using SDL:

@startuml
start
:foo2;
:Basic routine>
end

:Basic routine<
:foo5;
end
@enduml

Hello J.,

Here is another proposal using style:

@startuml
<style>
.conn {
  fontstyle bold
  RoundCorner 200
  padding 35 5 35 5
}
</style>
start
:foo2;
<<conn>>:Basic routine;
end

<<conn>>:Basic routine;
:foo5;
end
@enduml

Regards.
