Unfortunately, I doubt it. No-one is working on the topological
autorouter (which is why we use libgts), and it isn't obvious that the
libgts authors would even want that change.

I guess it could be raised with the upstream authors of libgts, but the
main barrier is effort / time required to do so.

That is bad of us.. we should definitely try to fix that.
