To use via/pin/pad from a predefined library and be able to update them
would be very nice then a small adjustment is needed.

Sometimes a pad need to have a little bit unusual shape and in such cases
it is very useful with possibility to add the necessary shape on the needed
layer. For example a power pad or antenna.

I am looking at clearance and maybe it is possible with a small step in
this direction at the same time.
