I have one more suggestion: the facility to create recursive PCBs.

Recursive PCBs could work the same way as the footprint
re-use: a node could contain a reference to a parent node;
the parent node could be a single element or itself a
reference to a collection of elements.

I can  think of a "group" of {traces, vias, elements, silk text or lines} to
be linked in from an external file or to be embedded.

The analogy of embedded/unembedded symbols in gschem comes to mind.

Me too.

And what if the gschem, pcb file formats were somehow unified.  Might allow
easier searching through project data.  Might enable cell-based design like
larger circuits, (chips), are done...
