Turning off the dotted background in node editors

In the node editors, there is a dotted background and there is no way to hide it. Since the editors already have Show Overlays settings, it would be nice to add a checkbox in that menu that hides/shows this background.

You could just give the dots the color that surrounds them and they disappear completely

This is a valid solution, but certainly not as quick and temporary as the method mentioned in the proposal.

Also, the overlay settings menu in the 3D viewport does have an option for turning off the grid. Adding this option to the node editor unifies blender's editors a bit more.
