I've often thought I'd like it if there were an "auto-optimize" mode
where everytime you finished moving something or placing something that
'optimize' would run. Cadnetix did that and it seemed like the right
thing. Then I went to Accel EDA and you had to manually run it like in
PCB and I thought it was a mistake to not automatically do it. One of
these days I'll get to it.
