When a user complains that they can't get their work done, the WRONG
answer is to tell them they're better off that way.

PCB's plugins can iterate through all the <foo> on the current board.
It's really useful, and something you'd expect a layout app to be able
to do.

Why shouldn't our schematic editor be able to iterate through all the
<foo> on the current schematic?
