I've been on the other end of this at a CM.  Make sure your
designators are unique
through out a board or you will get hosed at some point in the process.

Some P&P and flying probe machines come with software that just down right suck.
Doing something like "X3/R2" could make it do something as stupid as
try do divide
the designators.  X3-R2 might get you subtraction.  X3R2 should be
safe as a simple string.

The pay level for this might be around the level of Trained Monkeys.
Anything that upsets the flow in the end is going to cost you more to
get your board
if they have to call in the Monkey Trainer.
