But if you care about this feature, upgrading PCB's handling of layers
is n DJ's list of work items to be performed given funding under the
Linux Fund.   However, works doesn't start until the funding is
ready.  I strongly suggest that if you care about getting
features like this built into PCB, then you (or your organization)
should visit their website and make a donation to the PCB project:
