My point was, there was no need to bring up every single possibility
in a question specifically about gschem/pcb.  Doing so both distracts
people from answering the original question, and artificially raises
the bar to solving it.  We don't need to solve every problem every
time.  We *do* need to start solving some of the problems some of the
time.  *If* a solution comes up and *if* it can be used for other
purposes and *if* you want to do the work to make it more general,
*that* is the time to bring it up.  Throwing "it must be perfect and
do everything" in people's faces when they suggest things, only makes
them no longer want to suggest things.

Perfect is the enemy of Good Enough, and your constant pestering about
perfection has made you the enemy.
