Thank you, Dan, for expressing it so succinctly!  This is exactly how I
use PCB at the present moment.  Of course it would be just a tad too
difficult to do the whole layout this way, but that's exactly why I plan
on hiring someone else to do the layout for me while insisting that it
be done in GNU PCB rather than some proprietary package: while the
layout itself is a job too visual for my ASCII brain and it's just
simply a job that I feel someone else would do gazillion times better
than me, having it in the text-based PCB format would allow me to do any
necessary minor tweaks afterward by the very method that Dan has just
demonstrated.
