Nice!

A similar random special case:

As a hobbyst, when I do 2 layer and vias, I have to solder in a piece of 
wire (I don't want to keep chemicals for plating). I once considered 
drilling a large enough hole and put a 0603 in there and solder at both 
ends, sort of combining a via and a resistor. Then I realized pcb-rnd 
didn't support that at all. I think it'll be possible with pad stacks and 
subcircuits.

Thanks, that's my intention!
