As someone already proposed. We can fake it for now and do better when
it becomes more common.

You can define it as another 'physical layer' and have special
footprints for it with. With fake pads in copper layer for example.

I will try to take in mind that 'physical layer' can actually be a
separation layer. But I hope the concept is flexible enought so I can
add new typed layer easily later.
