Just tried it for my current board --- Snapping feels a lot better that 
way. :-) 

However, the new snap reveals a quirk of pcb: The cursor snaps to pads on 
the other side of the board. This is hardly useful. On one occasion I had 
to switch off snap-to-pins to align tracks on the bottom layer. Would it 
be difficult to confine pad snapping to the layer the pad lives on?
