I definitely agree as I am not the last one to get irritated by things like
spending hours drawing multi-hundred-pin symbols and repetitively connecting
each bit of their buses, only to find out later that I have sent to fab a PCB
where one of these #{["@! bits was missing or otherwise misconnected.
However, so much code, so little time :( so let's keep using the industry-
standard tools for now...
