This is a really good idea. Hmm.

I think the ambition for such a tool should be to "rule them all"
meaning that it would do a superset of other open (and perhaps also
closed) footprint design tools, so that in the future there will just
be a single data source for footprints.

This would also be where to say, on footprint export, "my board house
plates all holes. please adjust."

Such a lovely project.
