Well, gschem file format does say nothing about any physical
realisation of a schematic. Isn't that which makes it so
flexible?

Well, since they only have 14525678 pieces of thoose 1608 (metric,
EIA0603) resistors, we would be limited to a 29 m2 pcb (take a
hypotetical minimal courtyard of 2x1 mm) if we limit us to Digi-Key.

We could combine recursion with iteration and add other suppliers
to our list, and to be nice to the rest of the world we could enforce
a 1/3 of the supply as a limit -- what would the world be without
10k resistors...
